The 451 Group's summit in London
It was raining in France (of course since Lille "c'est dans le Nord Pas de Calais") but the weather was absolutely gorgeous on other side of the Channel when I made a day trip these last week to attend The 451 Group's Enterprise Computing Strategies Summit Europe.
I first got to discover the new Eurostar terminal at St Pancras' (a proof that I don't go to London as often as I used to, since the terminal has been open for 6 months now I believe) and I have to say it's nicely done. Plus, Lille-London in 80 minutes is just great.
Interesting summit, well organized, with fantastic networking opportunities. Lots of high profile VCs, senior IT management from large European firms, and vendors representatives like me. Content wise, virtualization, security, and a few other topics.
The most interesting part of the event was the ability to network with other attendees and with the analysts. I got some quality time with Raven Zachary and Matt Aslett - both key people for Talend to cultivate.
Of course their Boston summit in the Fall is bigger, with 2 days of sessions, parallel tracks, and dedicated open source sessions. Will be interesting to see how this plays out!
