Skype has kindly sponsored the 2009 conference. We are grateful for their support.
I asked Jonathan Christensen an hour ago why Skype decided to back the event. He responded:
...thinking about why we did it.. We believe that communications is going through a major shift from hardware devices on dedicated networks to software applications. A new paradigm is emerging. As a clear leader in this new age of communications, it makes sense for Skype to sponsor the eComm event as it is all about celebrating this innovation and sharing our vision for the future of communications with those individuals and companies who are most interested in changing the way people around the world communicate.
I had to follow temptation by following that up by asking if we can expect Skype to debut something at the 2009 conference? His response was:
09 will be a big year for us. We're very excited and I think the type of people attending the eComm conference will be to.
So there you have it; Skype sponsored eComm 09 and plan to have a "big year" come 2009. Can't wait. Now we can start the guessing game...
