INETA BOOTH &

Ask the INETA Experts

We have a booth on the tradeshow floor where we'll be hosting "Ask The INETA Expert" sessions during tradeshow hours.  We've recruited members of our Speakers Bureau to be experts, and we'll also have some time for our volunteers to talk about how to run a user group.  It should be a fun place to be during the tradeshow hours - we're in Booth #687 in the Developer Tools and Web Services area.

Here is who will be at the booth at various times throughout the conference:

Mike Amundsen
Ken Getz
Billy Hollis
Chris Kinsman
Michele Leroux Bustamante
Paul Litwin
Juval Lowy
Keith Pleas
Doug Seven
Paul Sherriff
Aaron Skonnard
Fernando Guerrero (European Speakers Bureau)
Clemens Vasters (European Speakers Bureau)

Read more about these INETA Experts here.

Sign up to volunteer at the booth. You will also have an opportunity to sign up during the Sunday meeting.
