Speaking in Vegas

Posted on Aug 10, 2010 in Web Stuff | 0 comments

I had the opportunity to go to Las Vegas this past week to speak with the entire iSold It franchise about AuctionSound and the changes we are making to our software.

I was able to put some faces to the voices I’ve been speaking to for a long time. I got one comment that someone completely guessed wrong as to what I looked like! I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing… oh well! I’ll probably look different again next year when I see them the next conference too.

Saturday was our long day. I made a not so smart move and laid out in the sun with no sunscreen for about an hour on Friday so I felt pretty zapped from the burnt skin! We started out Saturday morning around 8am showing up to the first series of speakers. First was the discussion of where the franchise was headed and how to boost business back up. Next were companies that have partnered with the ISI franchise in one aspect or another.

AuctionSound brought up the rear with the last speaking slot. We spoke about how we are integrating Craigslist in AuctionSound and many other changes/updates that you can find soon on their NEWS page. After that was the vendor show and dinner. We left the conference at around 9pm or so.

To do something different, we went out to downtown Las Vegas and walked around. They have an incredible light show display on the curved roof that spans nearly a quarter mile along the stretch of downtown. It’s hard to describe and the photo I took below doesn’t even do it justice. You’ll have to go and visit yourself!
