cPanel Conference – The Exhibitors

Posted by hosttycoon On October - 6 - 2009

I went to the exhibition hall (it is actually a lobby of the Hilton hotel on the 4th floor) at 8 am. So I’ve shot some of the exhibitors preparing their booths.

cPanel Conference 2009. The Day Before

Posted by hosttycoon On October - 5 - 2009

It is October 5th, the day before the official cPanel 2009 conference to start and most of the attendees haven’t arrived yet. I’ve got to Houston on Sunday (October 4th) after a 10-hour flight from London. So I was here the day before and today made some shots at the registration area.

The first impression you get from the cPanel con is from the Hilton Americas hotel where the conference holds. It is a very good facility, not that big as the Gaylord National Resort where the HostingCon 2009 held, but at the same time very comfortable.

There is plenty of space, and you don’t need to walk half a mile from the hotel area to the business and convention center. It is not like in Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas where anyone needs half an hour to get from the conference area to the hotel room… if they have a chance to get there at all… the road to the room passes the casino.

cpanel-conference-october-5-2009-gift-store-1The gift store. cPanel has a interesting method to stimulate the participant to conference to attend the sessions. They introduced a their own “money”. Everyone who registers for the con gets 40 of them. Registrants earn more money when attending to sessions and at the end they can purchase goods from the store.

HostingCon 2009: Inside The Exhibition Hall

Posted by hosttycoon On August - 18 - 2009

This year’s exhibition hall of the HostingCon was smaller compared to the one that hosted exhibitors previous year, but most attendees said that it was more convenient. We have spoken to many of the exhibitors you can see below and all of them said they are very satisfied of the way HostingCon 2009 was organized. Most said that the conference was successful for them and they had a good business during the exhibition days – August 11 and 12. One of the biggest exhibitors were Softlayer, Parallels, cPanel and Microsoft. TheWHIR sponsored the networking lounge inside the exhibition hall. If there were are competition for a booth design Parallels would probably win. 2CheckOut, a provide or payment services fro web hosts in countries with undeveloped dot-com economies was on the show and I was surprised of this. But the company has specialized in providing payment solutions for the web hosting industry.

Posted by hosttycoon On August - 9 - 2009

hosting-con-2009-signWe will publish this years HostingCon 2009 as we see it in pictures. The first series has been shot only an hour when we arrived in Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center. It is brand new facility which has an impressive architecture. There is plenty of space in convention center and it looks like everything is very well organized. The exhibition will take place on the 2nd and 3rd days of the conference. The first day promises very interesting sessions and keynotes.

The first section to picture on the opening day of the con is “Step by Step Ways to Increase your Sales and Decrease Costs”. After 10 am we will try to show the session “Cost-Cutting Strategies for Web Hosts” in pictures.
