(reproduction) my blog about NASSCOM emerging delegates trip to US (part 1)

It was a strange coincidence indeed. We at S7 Software had heard the importance of attending software 2008 (especially for SMEs like us from India) through our advisors and we had also learnt about the Interop 2008 which is to be jointly held with software2008 which is also of prime importance as “interops” is one of the offshoot focus area of software migration which is our main focus area. We would have loved to set up a booth but we worked out the numbers and proved to be bit expensive at this stage and hence registered as just attendees and made all travel arrangements and I get this email from NASSCOM about helping SMEs like us to setup booth in Software 2008 and at a reasonable cost – what a god send email for us.

We are very happy to be part of software2008 under the aegis of NASSCOM and we are hoping that we will have a good marketing stint over there. Some of the companies from the delegation are exhibiting at Stall 3220. A detailed list is available at the Software 2008 website.
I am very happy about the proposed NASSCOM’s bay area networking event. Thanks to NASSCOM things are going so far as planned. Me as pre-planned I will be leaving much earlier to US to our US office which is in Redmond, WA and then I will be flying to Las Vegas on 27th to catch up with interops as it opens a day before Software2008 and 29th and 30th it will software 2008 all the way and May 1st and 2nd it will be the bay area networking event and then off to Redmond again and back to India. I am also excited to know that NASSCOM has partnered with SDforum & SIPA for the bay area networking events.

My agenda and expectations are pretty clear, hope to spread the S7 Software existence to all over there, attend few important keynote sessions and also few sessions involving our technology market while I am there and hopefully some good business networking in the bay area. Will surely write about my experience once I am done with this delegation, keep tuned.
