Day two of the RSA conference – what a great day. I started off with breakfast in the Consierge lounge, meeting with RSA’s US Sales manager. From there I navigated through a 5 minute hail storm on my way to deliver a keynote address to Cisco partners on ways to apply the concepts of educational marketing, assessments and discovery, as well as effective messaging in the security space (which was also accessible through Webex and recorded if you did not attend)o0. Spent a couple of hours working on some business in my room…
By the way, check out this room in the Marriott Marquis! This is the place to set up a base camp. I have a corner room overlooking the Expo center, that is about the size of three rooms. The hallway (a hallway in a hotel room!) pictured to the left heads down to my living room, bathroom on the right, and then out to a bar area with refrig and various entertainment accoutrements. Two giant flat screen TVs, three phones, and great service. The only problem is, the internet service if very slow, so I’m using my Verizon 3G instead.
From there I attended a couple of receptions, most notably the Cisco reception, where I met with security executives, gathered insights on product road maps for the coming 18 months, and reconnected with various clients, partners and manufactures. A jam packed day and well worth being out here!
Here’s a shot of my living room…
