The O'Reilly Money:Tech conference was great.

I met a lot of great people, including some potential leads.

I learned a lot about the financial markets and how they work.

I met a few of our competitors, including some that were at about the same stage as us.

I got some insight that I think will really help us separate our company from the pack of other companies doing similar work to us.

New York City was great, I need to go back again when I can spend more time seeing everything in the city, and I can bring the wife and kids, too.

Next week I'm heading to New York to attend the O'Reilly Money:Tech conference.  I've never been to New York before, so this could be interesting.  It would be nice to visit under the circumstance where I'd be able to see the city and enjoy myself, but there should be plenty of time for that later. 

The conference is all about harnessing the web to provide insight into the financial markets, which, conveniently is what my company is all about.  If you want to get on the list to find out more, go ahead and visit the site and sign up. 

Times are interesting to be starting a company that focuses on the financial markets.  I'm hoping that rubbing elbows with some financial types in New York will give me an idea about how they are taking the recent market activity.  Luckily, not only is there market activity even during recessions, but we are building a platform that can be taken beyond just the financial vertical.
