Hosting Con 2009 … Washington, DC

Prior to joining Deep Web Technologies, I managed to make a small name for myself in the web hosting and ISP (Internet Service Provider) industry. Aside from helping grow a very successful company in that industry, I nurtured a small but consistent consulting practice.

As a consequence, I am (from time-to-time) invited to speak and consult for small to medium businesses, and have managed to developed an expertise in web hosting, ISP and SaaS. It is that latter category, that I provide some level of strategic input and guidance for Deep Web Technologies.

Well, this August 10th to the 14th, you can catch me speaking at the Hosting Con 2009 conference in Washington, DC. I will be talking about “planning for an eventual acquisition,” which is applicable to just about any business whose owner(s) envision themselves relaxing on a tropical island in return for their years of hard labor starting and growing a successful business.

I also have the honor of moderating a keynote with two experts in data protection policies in US and EU, one hailing from the US Department of Commerce, the other from the European Commission.

It’s a jammed-pack conference, full of outstanding speakers and sessions, involving 4 tracks: Marketing & Sales, Emerging Trends, Technology & Operations, and Business Development.

Wish me luck, and I hope to identify new partners for Deep Web Technologies!
