5^th March 14:30 to 17:10

The SAAS Workshop on day one of the conference will be an ensemble effort – 3 of us and many more of you folks (it is after all a Workshop). Richard (who knows about customers), William (who knows about hosters) and myself (who knows about ISVs) are currently working through how to best use the time. We want to ensure everyone in the room (a) at least stays awake, (b) hopefully finds it very useful and (c) ideally gets really stuck into an engaging discussion around what it will really take for SAAS to be successful from the ISV and the customers perspective. This week we pull together the detail of how we will run the workshop and are very open to suggestions about how you would like the time to be used. What do you hope to hear covered? What would send you rushing for the Exit? What is the key concern you have about SAAS that you would like explored? If you have suggestions to make then please contact me (just keep the initial contact short as we can pick it up over “proper” email after that). Thanks in advance.

I am also trying something a little different for this conference. Over on my blog I am creating a diary which looks at how we are pulling together this workshop. Hopefully it won’t put you off too much but maybe it will help you make an informed decision about whether you should attend (Fingers crossed – you will)

All the best.
