If you put off registering, you dodged the $50 late penalty that ALM used to bump up early registration this year. It vanished from the event site as the December 1 deadline passed. It will still cost you $99 to access the Exhibit hall and keynotes if you do not register before the show, so don’t procrastinate. Mikki and myself will be escorting clients on shopping missions, briefing with providers and generally catching up with friends old and new at the social events. I am running late this year filling my conference schedule, so shoot me an email if you would like to talk shop.
It is too early to read anything into the Sponsor/Exhibitor numbers on the ALM site, but I will update my tracking sheets the week before the conference to see how many last second providers have the budget for a booth this year. Several recent briefings have indicated that they will be running briefing rooms in adjacent hotels rath
er than an exhibit hall booth. I hope that global warming pushes back the usual mid-conference snowstorm that makes running back and forth to the Warwick so miserable.
With 2016 budgets determined and RFP season warming up, I encourage providers to update their offering profiles on the eDJ Matrix before prospective buyers start building their lists. We have added substantial new features to support the evolving offerings in categories such as analytics, matter management and cloud collection. As always, keep your eyes out for us and please introduce yourself. We might hit you with a spot survey question and always enjoy the feedback.
