6/4/08 - New Orleans

    The symposium was kicked off at 9:30AM CST this morning.  There are two tracks: developers and business.  The conference attendees are of an interesting blend: the business track has about 30% of the attendee's. The development track ranges from sophisticated production environments to point-and-click salesforce integration.  The symposium will last 2 days. Each evening all the attendees will meet up to have food and drinks at a
local bar. And of course there will be music after 10PM at the venue. Enfold Systems hosted the conference with sponsorships from Diamond Data Systems, Six Feetup and Gocept Consulting.
