“It is only the farmer who faithfully plants seeds in the Spring, who reaps a harvest in the Autumn.” – B. C. Forbes

April brings the advent of spring, the planting and tending of gardens, and refreshing rains that help nature spring forth. Here at The Planet, April is no different – the sales and marketing teams will be busy planting seeds to help fuel our growth with a busy trade show schedule.

Here’s a look at all the activities planned this month:

PubCon South — April 13-15 — Dallas, TX
We’ll kick off in Dallas at PubCon South. Here, we’ll showcase our hosting and cloud solutions, and learn about the latest trends in social media marketing. The conference is being held just up the street from our Dallas office, so this is almost a “home game” for us. If you’re in Dallas, stop by and see us!

Cloud Expo East — April 19-21 — New York, NY
At the Cloud Expo, we have two speaking spots: Duke Skarda will deliver a general address to the delegates on how to evaluate cloud solutions and determine what makes sense for their respective companies. Carl Meadows will also conduct a technical workshop on choosing the right cloud platform for your business. You can find us in the expo hall at booth 118.

ad:tech — April 20-22 — San Francisco, CA
At ad:tech, we’re sponsoring a panel discussion on the challenges faced by today’s ad agencies while navigating media-rich campaigns that integrate video, social networks and new media. We’ll also show off our unique corporate style in booth 6240. In addition to our hosting capabilities, we’ll showcase The Planet Partner Plus program, our channel program for referral partners, resellers and affiliates.

Interop — April 25-30 — Las Vegas, NV
After a quick two-day breather, we’ll hit the road again to the Entertainment Capital of the World. Thank goodness you never know what time it is in Vegas … because I know we’ll still be jet-lagged. You can find the weary travelers from The Planet in the Interop expo hall at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. During the show, we’ll feature our server challenge, back by popular demand from SXSW. Stop by to see us in booth 1851.

Don’t worry … we’ll still be out and about in May. I’ll save the details about those shows for a rainy day at the end of April.

We’re excited about all things spring, including meeting new customers, seeing old friends and making new ones. There’s a lot planned and much coming your way, so be sure to keep in touch. We’ll see you on the road!
