Fun times at the Expo!

I apologize for missing the blog post yesterday. I, along with a couple of colleagues, went to the Customer Engagement Technology Expo at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.

It was my first time at a huge Expo and we had a lot of fun going to the various booths. This particular expo turned out to be more hardware based than marketing based but we still learned a lot.

They had QR (2D) barcodes everywhere! As I have discussed a couple of times on the blog, this is definitely the new up and coming technology.

The expo also had a Social Sphere and Blogger Zone with laptops connected to the internet so people could update company blogs, twitter accounts, etc. I utilized this by tweeting from the event. Great way to gain more exposure for the event and a fun place to meet other social media people.

There were many interactive kiosks to try out the latest technology. It was fun to see how far the customer experience has come. Look for these interactive kiosks to pop up in stores near you!

Let me know if there are any other interesting conferences/expos that may be happening in the near future. DMI would definitely like to attend more of them!
