SPC 09: Who's at the Bamboo Booth?

Well the more appropriate question would be who is NOT at the Bamboo booth?  From day one we've been absolutely swamped with customers, both old timers, newcomers, and yes, apparently a few people out there who don't even know who we are!  Lucky for us we have a great booth position (right by the door, on the way to the food!) so we've had a steady stream of visitors from the wee morning hours (yes, breakfast starts at 8 but the Bamboo'ers have a nice 25 minute walk to get there!) til we close down around 6 each day. 

I'm one of the lucky people at Bamboo who spends most of their time talking and emailing with our customers, so of course it's a huge perk that I get to come here and actually meet many of them.  I've met people from the Air Force Academy, the Army, Denmark, a guy who came from Perth, Australia (5 hour flight to Sydney, 16 hour flight to LA, 1 hour flight to Vegas - now that is a long way to come for SharePoint!!!), some nice folks from Target, IKEA, colleges and universities from all over the country - you name it, and they are here!  From what I've heard, everyone enjoyed not only the keynote but also the sessions.  And though I wasn't there to witness it, apparently they all decided to come to our Partner-Led session led by our own Julie and Daisy, with some help from our good friend Dux Sy.

So what are people wanting to know in the booth?  John has already covered some of it, but there are a few additional things I want to mention.  Everyone who's familiar with Bamboo starts out with "What's new: which is perfect because I'm really excited about two of our newest releases: File Share and Video Library, along with our PM Central.  We've been asked numerous times if our products will move to SP2010 (YES!!!!) and what we think about the new version so far.  This is the first time most people are seeing a glimpse of the new platform so of course there is a lot of curiosity.  As Lily blogged about earlier, we've also had a lot of our great partners stopping by, helping us chat up our customers, showcase their expertise, and oh yeah - scan and hand out t-shirts!  We've seen some pretty cool giveaways, but I have to say, our "Evolution" t-shirts are one of the hottest things here at the show!   

Stay tuned for more from the booth...
