Educational Conference Season!

I've been busy doing educational conferences for my company, MathScore.com. Seeing that some people out there would like to know about what's happening, here's the update:

Through my connections, I was invited to the ETC conference in Modesto on February 25 to speak. My topic was "Using MathScore.com to Raise Standardized Test Scores", and I had the opportunity to present my product in a hands-on format in a mobile computer lab, called the Urban Technology Vehicle (UTV). The UTV is actually a $200,000 small bus that has Internet access and about 30 laptops. Anyway, my two 1-hour sessions were very well attended, and I got a whole bunch of very strong leads! If everything goes well, I may be able to land another school district or two. For those of you who don't know, I recently did a deal with the whole Sunnyvale School District, which encompasses 8 elementary schools and 2 middle schools :-)

I also exhibited at the National Charter Schools Conference on March 1 and 2 in Sacramento, CA. Due to the layout and schedule, traffic at exhibitor booths wasn't really good for anybody, so I ended up leaving my booth a lot to go network with people directly. I still ended up with some great leads. I'm busy following up with leads from both conferences, so I've got my fingers crossed.

I'm also going to be exhibiting at the CUE (Computer Using Educators) conference in Palm Springs March 9-11. I'm looking forward to seeing my cousin Jim in LA after the conference. I may also meet up with some Nu Delta alums as well.
