The Planet @ Web 2.0 Expo

Kevin HazardPreviously on “As The Planet Tours,” we caught up with our globetrotting team at Interop Las Vegas. One short week later, we find a new ragtag group of server experts from The Planet wandering the streets of San Francisco again – this time for Web 2.0 Expo SF.

This show wraps up one heck of a busy month for us, and we plan to finish strong. Attending five shows in four different states since Sherry’s “April Showers” post hasn’t slowed us down a bit, and we have a full schedule of activities planned for the folks making their way into Moscone West this week.

The expo hall opens at 10:30 a.m. PDT, and we’re hitting the ground running. In booth 708, we have a great group of account managers and engineers available to answer all of your hosting related questions, and if you take a little time to chat with us, you might walk away with one of our popular “refreshing approach to hosting” water bottles. Because this conference is geared toward web-based entrepreneurs, we expect the topics of discussion in our booth to differ greatly from the ones we had at Interop, Cloud Expo and even ad:tech. A few of our 20,000+ customers are big names in the world of Web 2.0, so we’re excited to share some of their success stories and why those success stories are relevant to the hosting decisions being made by Web 2.0 Expo attendees.

On Tuesday, May 4, 2010 at 10:45 a.m. PDT, the Kevin Hazard (yours truly) will be presenting a 10-minute session in the expo’s solutions showcase theater titled “You care about hosting, even if you don’t know it: The Siren Song of The Planet Server.” You might be surprised to know this, but I have the inside track on what we’re going to cover, and it’s safe to say that the content is amazing. Stop by the theater as you make your way into the expo hall!

In booth 708, our trusty Dell PowerEdge 1950 server chassis is making a curtain call for its final Server Challenge. While its components have seen better days, the server still looks beautiful … I wouldn’t be too confident in plugging it in, but it looks nice. The fastest server rebuilder at Web 2.0 Expo SF will walk away with an ASUS Eee PC netbook and a boost in geek pride, so if you want to blow us away with your techie prowess, be sure to stop by. You can compete twice per day, so visit early and often!

From the opening bell through the closing ceremonies, you’ll probably see quite a few friendly faces wandering the halls in The Planet’s witty T-shirts. When you do, make sure to say hello!
