Looking ahead at my calendar and I am pleased to say that I’ll be speaking at SPTechCon Boston August 11-14th. This is a great conference in a wonderful location. You know I love to eat, this is a Food City! (They pour a bit of beer and wine too, or so I have heard!) Anyway, I am excited to be part of the great cast of characters who will be presenting this year. But that’s not all!
