AWS Trade Show Day 1. Ugh.

[canyonwalker]

Today was the first day of the AWS re:Invent trade show. Ugh. It was only 3 hours for the exhibit floor, but our booth was wrecked. We had a line of people 20 deep most of the evening. That would seem to be a good thing, right? No, it wasn't. 9/10 of those people didn't know and didn't care what our company does; they were only there for the free giveaways. The other 1/10 weren't great leads, either, as most insisted they were in no position to choose or even influence software purchases. Oh, and the whole show floor was jammed. People everywhere. All looking for free food and free t-shirts and toys. Only 3 more days of this! 😖
