See you at ITx conference
Last year's IITP conference was a eye-opener with many great speakers. This year the conference has expanded to become ITx, it won't be New Zealand's biggest technology conference, Microsoft's Tech Ed is larger, but it is the most wide ranging vendor independent event.
I'll be there along with my MacBook catching the keynotes and other sessions. I recommend anyone visiting Auckland for iTX comes early enough to take part in the innovation magical mystery tour. The opening day will see a ministerial address, it'll be interesting to see who steps up to the stage for that one. There's also keynotes from Greg Cross who will be telling The PowerByProxi Story and Mary Quin CEO, Callaghan Innovation.
