I was representing African countries trying to develop geosynchronous satellite launch capabilities and was interesting in partnering with Loral or Astra. Kept me mildly engaged for a few minutes ..Dan Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12794688915617947635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5972592.post-79864039831479462332011-08-14T21:15:54.975+02:002011-08-14T21:15:54.975+02:00If you're shopping, two days is plenty if you ...If you're shopping, two days is plenty if you know the area you're interested in. Major difference between hardware and software halls. Do some research before you go so that you make a plan to do the interesting stuff on the first day and more wandering on the 2nd. Try and plan a route to avoid going from one end of the place to another and back again. That said, most of the companies are grouped together logically. It's the conference that's worth avoiding.Jonathan Markshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649569693082320105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5972592.post-12432032791552074732011-08-10T16:38:03.437+02:002011-08-10T16:38:03.437+02:00Hi Jonathan, This year will be my first visit to I...Hi Jonathan, This year will be my first visit to IBC (I'm shopping, not conferencing) - I've got 2 days planned for it, do you think that's enough? I'm wondering if I should extend my trip a little - I did 2 days at BVE in April and that was only just enough time for gawping at all the tech! thanks, Tom :)TomLenhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08759779445145664262noreply@blogger.com
