Heading out to Blog World Expo…

Wednesday, November 7th, 2007

I should be packing, or QAing BricaBox, or writing up a press release, or, well, a lot of things… instead, I’m writing to say how excited I am for this trip to Vegas we’re about to take.

In a few hours, I’ll meet Kyle at JFK airport and board our JetBlue flight to Las Vegas. When we land (around noon), we’ll head to the hotel (the Hilton), and then immediately head to the Convention Center, which is right across the street. After setting up (nothing to set-up, really — just make sure everything is there), we’ll head back to the hotel to push out whatever major updates we need to before opening up to the world (actually, while Kyle is coding, I have a few important errands to run).

Then it’s time to party and shmooze. We’ll be heading to The Conversation Group’s party at Hard Rock Cafe, for sure. Other parties are sure to jot across the Twitter feed and we’ll find ourselves at those too. All this before finally heading back to the hotel again to get ready for a big next day.

On the day of the Expo, both Kyle and I will be “manning” our booth — booth 502, to be exact. We’re super excited to be right next to AdaptiveBlue, another New York, and much more semantically advanced, company. I’ve met Karen, the head of Engineering, back at the Supernova Mixer in NYC, but have yet to meet Fraser and Alex. This will be fun.

What to expect from BricaBox:

We’re launching what we’re calling a “public alpha” of the platform. Really, it’s a public beta mixed with a private alpha (the beta being the outward facing sites and the alpha being the publisher site of the platform). Either way we cut it, we expect to be one of the freshest companies there (I don’t know of anyone else launching there), though certainly one of the more technologically awesome.

More launch news will come out later regarding the launch (that’s the “press release” I was talking about).

Lastly, expect us to live blog a little. If we’re not live blogging it’s probably because we’re talking about BricaBox and meeting all the great folks at the conference. I’ll also probably do a little Twittering, so head there or “follow” innonate if you’re interested.
