Apple Business Expo in Miami - YES

Here it is, my kind of business conference.  Last week I learned of a specific business expo for Mac customers, and signed up to participate - right away.  Later this month, Loop USA and several Apple Retails Stores are getting together for show targeting small businesses in Southern Florida that use or want to use Apple technology in their business.  Loop has done similar conferences in other parts of Florida, and has seen terriric turn out.  It's great to hear (but not surprising) that in these times of shrinking and cancelling conferences and trade shows, one particular show is doing well - one that focuses on Apple Technology in the Enterprise.

The Apple Business Expo will have have a day of educational sessions, and and open expo floor full of hardware manufacturers and software developers presenting their products and showing their wares.  For many business users of Apple technology, there are limited avenues for seeking out products to help run their business leveraging Macs and other Apple technology.  These business users are typically limited to visiting the Apple Store and relying on the local Business Partner Manger's expertise, or just slogging through various Google searches.  This show will be invaluable to the growing population of Apple users across Southern Florida.

The concept for the show is the brain-child of Carmine DeSanto, CEO of Loop USA.  Carmine had participated in similar shows in greater Toronto, prior to moving to Southern Florida.  He felt that no one was providing a real venue for the end user, so set out to provide a resource, in his back yard, to give customers in Florida a small taste of what Mac faithful users get to see every year at Macworld in San Francisco.  Macworld has a small carve out section of their Expo dedicated to Enterprise and Business solutions.  This conference is specifically FOR those Enterprise/Business customers, I look forward to more shows like this around the US.
