TelecomONE FTW!

By Steve Biddle, in , posted: 5-Oct-2009 20:51

On the weekend I had the opportunity to attend TelecomONE, an unconference that was hosted by Telecom NZ and held at Mahurange College in Warkworth, featuring a mix of both Telecom staff and invited guests from outside the company.

While I'd love to write more about the fantastic experiences I had during the weekend this is simply a quick thank you to everybody who was there for making this event such a great experience.

I had some great discussions with some fantastic people, both from within Telecom and from outside. I also experienced first hand how passionate many of the Telecom staff are about both technology and the business as a whole - something that can't be easy to maintain when you're such a corporate that people love to hate.

Thanks to Neil for making this event possible, Neal for making sure everybody enjoyed werewolf and to Nat and Jenine for their fantastic skills when it comes to running such a cool event. It was a pleasure to be invited and be able to be present.

I also meant to add for disclosure that all costs incurred getting to and from Auckland were paid for by me.
Just before anybody says I've sold out to Telecom!

Wouldn't you have unsold if that were the case?
