We're beginning to believe there's a secret society in charge of creating the tech industry's event calendar, because it would seem that some gremlins have conspired to ensure that 75% of 2007's conferences are packed into the fourth week of April.
All of which is to say that the week of April 23 will be a busy one for your friends at ISYS. Fortunately, some of our customers have agreed to lend a hand by joining us on the speaking circuit as we hit three different events during this week.
In Boston, our very own Terry Clift (painter, wine connoisseur and ISYS' general manager of global operations) will be speaking on the topic of Business Intelligence and Search at the 2007 Search Engine Meeting, hosted by the fine folks at Infonortics. The conference kicks off on Monday, April 23, and Terry will deliver his topic on that Tuesday.
Down in Phoenix, ISYS customer Ritchie Martinez of the Arizona HIDTA Center will speak to the audiences at Delphi Group's ii2007 conference. As a longtime customer of ISYS, Ritchie will outline his experience with search technology and its many uses in the law enforcement field. Ritchie gives his presentation on Wednesday, April 25.
At the end of the week, another ISYS customer will be speaking in Amsterdam at the European Text Analytics Summit. Burch Kealey of the University of Nebraska will be making the long trek to discuss going beyond basic search to derive even great value from your content. Burch will deliver his speech on Friday, April 27.
We have a tabletop display at the Search Engine Meeting in Boston, where we'll be demonstrating the latest and greatest features of ISYS 8. Additionally, ISYS representatives will be on hand at all three events, so don't hesitate to stop us and introduce yourself. We might just have one of our highly sought-after ISYS pens or golf balls for you!
