Friday’s Technology Conference at SUNY Ulster was a real success.  The audience wasn’t quite as robust as it could have been, the people that were there were by and large a smart set.  Lance Matteson’s keynote started it all off with the right tone.  Lance has some terrific experience in Economic Development around the tech world, and seems savvy.  I think if he’d been here earlier, technology would have played a larger role in the Ulster Tomorrow initiative.

I attended the education panel, and then sat on the business panel later in the day.  Both panels had a nice participation between the panel and the audience.  It could have certainly gone on longer.  Jim Perry, from SUNY Ulster stated one of his goals as people networking - and that goal was fulfilled.  I had the pleasure of meeting Greg from Small Packages, another web development company in the Hudson Valley.

I hope that these events are repeated.  Kudos to the organizers.
