At HostingCon 2007, FastServers.Net had the opportunity to connect with current managed hosting customers, partners and potential clients. Face-to-face meetings live on the show floor allowed our team to gather solution details, provide live quotes, and win new business with customers from around the world. Relationship building is one of the key points for the team at FastServers.Net so meeting everyone in person allowed our clients to view an accelerated and in-depth look at our operations and the people that make things happen everyday.
One of the greatest satisfactions of the event was the number of people we were
able to meet. We found it very enjoyable to finally meet some long time
customers visiting us from locations around the world including Australia, UK,
China and the US. In fact, this year we had the distinct pleasure of putting
together and hosting the first ever Business Networking Cruise for 360 guests of HostingCon 2007. The cruise provided the perfect time and place for people in general, and the FastServers.Net team to continue talks, answer more questions, and socialize with everyone on board. After several months of planning, we couldn't have predicted that the removal of activity based events from our booth portfolio would be so well received.

Monday was filled with final preparations as the booth was setup and finalized.
Very little stress took place that day as our efforts were spent on last minute
decisions such as the color of lighting and location of power outlets for the
FastServers.Net booth. And we spent some time internally discussing the exhibit
floor and what was to come the following day.
After a previously “stressful” day of deciding what shades of green or blue
would be applied to the lighting on the booth, I attended a power-packed dinner,
compliments of Tech Pad Agency. This exceptional event brought together
evangelists from various companies including APLUS.NET, HostMySite, SWSOFT,
SUPERB Hosting, LunarPages, HostNine, and of course, FastServers.Net. Derek Vaughan and Ben Fisher from TechPad Agency/TheHostingNews.com
deserve a big congratulations on a well executed event. This year is the first
time they opened the event to non-customers, and in my opinion, they really
brought together a nice selection of movers and shakers in the industry!

The exhibit floor opened on Tuesday and throughout the day various members of
our management and sales engineering teams had several sit down meetings with
both current and potential clients and partners. A full day of back-to-back meetings was followed by the three hour Business Networking Cruise sponsored by FastServers.Net and TopHosts.Com. Many of us shared several more hours of "socializing" upon our return. Both the cruise and the aftermath resulted in the meeting of new friends with the comfort of having "The Usual Suspects" at arms length.

As things wrapped up on Wednesday evening, we finalized our exhibit hall meetings ending the night with food, drinks, and fireworks to celebrate another successful HostingCon! And when the fireworks exploded I jokingly stated to the crowd that the finale will include our logo to seal the show with some additional branding and to celebrate the new FastServers.Net logo.
As we all return to our regular schedules and routines, the FastServers.Net team would like to thank the many customers, partners, and friends who took time out of their busy lives to visit with us, talk about the industry, and provide us the distinct pleasure of offering the most reliable managed hosting services in the industry! As the weeks and months progress we
will keep you updated on some of the successful relationships we have developed and we may even post a few new profiles on the FastServers.Net blog!
