Jul 18, 2006 : HostingCon 2006 Kicks Off

📅 July 18, 2006 - North America's largest Web hosting conference, HostingCon 2006 (hostingcon.com) kicked off its second annual event on Monday at the Mirage hotel and casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

ISVs, software providers and Web hosts enjoyed a day filled with vendor educational presentations, conference sessions organized under categories such as business, shared services, data center and application hosting, and a keynote by the executive director and dean of the IT Leadership Academy, Thornton May, who provided some insight on how to understand and connect with the future computational mainstream.

Attendees also connected in a bustling exhibit hall where they had the opportunity to meet with clients and providers, and entertain themselves with several video game demos and a live Web hosting game show.

"It's definitely bigger than last year," says George Roberts IV, executive director of HostingCon 2006. "There are many familiar faces in the exhibit hall, but there are also many companies who are new to the event. Things have been good today so far so we'll see how things turn out."

HostingCon 2006 continues today through Wednesday.
