I’ll be headed off to Silicon Prairie Social this evening in the Chicago suburb of Wheaton. SPS is a great networking event, co-sponsored by one of our technology partners, Sun Microsystems.
One of the challenges in the IT space is finding opportunity for casual interaction among the different players in the supply chain. So often conversations are formalized via pre-existing purchase relationships, a desire to avoid the traditional sales or marketing communications, or people in general simply being too busy to have a conversation. I’ve found that events like SPS provide a chance to have casual conversation about current on-the-job challenges, upcoming opportunities, or just chatting about the news of the day.
I’ve heard that they have a full house tonight, so no walk-ins. Should be a great night of networking!
