Recap of HostingCon 2008- iNET in the press

Exhausted but excited with the outcome of HostingCon 2008, the iNET team arrived back in the office after trekking back to Cincinnati from Chicago. Interjuncture, the original producers of HostingCon, managed this year’s event very well. During the close of HostingCon 2008, Interjuncture’s CEO, George Roberts, and our President and CEO, Troy Augustine, performed a ceremonious signing of the closing documents. As of July 31, iNET Interactive became the proud owners of HostingCon!

During HostingCon, the iNET event team (including newly hired and event veterans, Bev and Stephanie) went to work gathering feedback from all attendees about exhibiting, speaking and general event activities. Surveys were handed out at each conference session to better understand speaker and speaking topic preferences while another survey was delivered to each exhibitor. Post-show, iNET sent out an email to all attendees (including exhibitors and speakers) asking for their help in completing a HostingCon 2008 online survey to gather further feedback. Although HostingCon 2009 scheduled for Washington D.C., August 10 - 12, 2009, is a year away, the iNET event team has already started the planning and preparation process.

The flurry of announcements about the HostingCon acquisition and the location for HostingCon 2009 generated outstanding press coverage for iNET. Here are some of the many press reports:
