\"KatieHenry David Thoreau once said, “Trade shows are opportunities to meet new people and old people.” <\/p>

It’s not very poetic, but neither is the Thoreau I’m quoting … he’s actually the unkempt 50-something neighbor I run into every now and then when I check my mail. I forgot his name after the first time he introduced himself (it was either Henry or David), and his tattered appearance and hermit-like quality reminds me of someone just returning from an extended stay on Walden Pond. So, I arrived at the code name Thoreau, kind of like a McDreamy … minus the dashing good looks and medical degree. And ability to contribute in a large way to society (scripted for TV or not). <\/p>

But I digress. The words of (neighbor) Thoreau are not wrong, and we’ve got a got a stacked event schedule for the month of March. Be sure to check us out if you’re in the area, so we can seize the opportunity to meet all the new people (and old people) we can.<\/p>

Here’s a brief snapshot of where we’ll be in the coming month: <\/p>

Connect10 – March 1-2 – Orlando, FL<\/h3>

The Planet is one of the co-sponsors for Connect10<\/a> – the Sant customer conference. Sant Corp.<\/a> provides software to major corporations for sales proposal and RFP response creation, and they’re also one of our managed hosting customers<\/a>. Their two-day customer conference in Orlando is chock-full of excellent sessions on how companies can best leverage the Sant software suite. <\/p>

When you’re roaming the halls at the conference, be sure to stop by our table and pick up a tchotchke or two. <\/p>

Channel Partners Conference – March 1-3 – Las Vegas, NV<\/h3>

Last fall, we launched The Planet Partner Plus<\/a> – our channel program encompassing referral partners, resellers, and affiliates. Since then, we’ve been looking to evangelize the program to members of the partner community, and where better to do that than at THE conference for channel partners? (And, it doesn’t hurt that it’s in Vegas.)<\/em><\/p>

We’ll be setting up shop at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in booth 1326<\/strong> on the Expo Hall floor, and we’ll be giving away a couple video cameras, so it would behoove you to come say hi! <\/p>

Visit the Channel Partners Conference<\/a> site for more information.<\/p>

South By Southwest – March 13-15 – Austin, TX<\/h3>

Last but certainly not least, The Planet will be making its first-ever appearance at South By Southwest Interactive<\/a>, and we couldn’t be more excited. Held just a few hours away from our Houston headquarters in Austin, Texas, the show has earned a national reputation for consistently popularizing emerging technology, from social media platforms to the latest and greatest websites. <\/p>

We’re looking forward to meeting customers, prospects and new friends of all kinds – from software and web developers to e-commerce entrepreneurs. We’ve got a few surprises planned, so make sure to keep an eye out for us.<\/p>
