I just returned from Ad:Tech San Francisco last night. This was our second year exhibiting there and I love that conference. We’ve decided to exhibit at Ad:Tech Miami as well, which is June 26th-27th, so if you’re attending be sure to drop by our booth there.

We usually stay at Maxwell Hotel in Union Square. It’s a decent hotel for the price and it’s in a central location, however this year I thought “hey, let’s try something different” and I decided to book us at Renoir Hotel on McAllister. If you’re ever going to San Francisco and you’re looking for a good hotel at a decent price avoid Renoir Hotel. The place is a dump and smells horrible. The cab driver told a couple guys with us that he hasn’t driven anyone there in years and asked if they were armed for their own protection. Seriously, if you’re staying in downtown San Francisco and you’re looking for a decent hotel at a good price I recommend Maxwell Hotel in Union Square. The rates are around $130/night. So, we’re heading to Miami in late June, any recommendations for hotels there?

One thing that I’m noticing about these conferences is more and more people are coming up to us saying “hey, I use IntelliContact. I love you guys!.” It’s awesome to meet our clients and it’s certainly a sign that we’re getting the word out about our application as more and more people are approaching us at these events having used our software. It’s a great feeling when you see your hard work paying off.
