CES 2012: The Mecca of All Consumer Electronic Shows

January 6, 2012 Leave a comment

 First off, Happy New Years to all my readers and followers. May 2012 bring you increased connectivity and prosperity.

Now, what better way to kick off the new year then attending the “Grand Daddy” of all tech shows, CES 2012.  This will be my first year attending the Consumer Electronics show and with all the tweets and posts on numerous social media feeds it surely will not disappoint.  As an added bonus, I have been appointed as Samsung Canada’s blogger at CES 2012 tweeting and blogging live from numerous keynotes and the grand hall.  This week has been a whirlwind of preparation with regards to this as you can imagine.  Thankfully Samsung has outfitted me with the latest gear to keep me connected. With a 9 Series notebook, HD Camcorder, Galaxy S II LTE smartphone and a hope and a prayer that AT&T’s network will be able to handle the load of the approximately 160,000 attendees, I should be good to go.

Now for my ask of you my faithful followers.

I will be tweeting on behalf of @SamsungCanada as well as posting videocasts on Youtube and Facebook.  I’d love your input on what, pertaining to Samsung, you’d like to see or read with regards to activity at CES 2012.  Follow us on twitter and / or join the conversation on Facebook and let your voice be heard.

I’ll be more than happy to oblige.

MS WPC 2011: Microsoft, Samsung Canada & You

July 6, 2011 Leave a comment

Microsoft’s World Partner Conference, the “SuperBowl” of Microsoft conferences, is happening in less than 4 days and @SamsungCanada and I could not be happier to be sponsoring the Canada lounge at this year’s event.

Set aside hearing Richard Branson and other keynotes (yes Ballmer is speaking too), watching Maestro Fresh Wes and the Arkells perform and learning what future offerings Microsoft has in store for FY12, what I’m really looking forward to is connecting with you. 

As of late, the team at Samsung Canada and I have been working hard to complete Samsung’s solution offering.  Samsung already produces great hardware and has recently partnered with the likes of Microsoft and others to ensure best of breed software solutions to run better on our hardware.  What’s missing is your creativity to take our partnered solutions to the next level.  That’s where you come in.

Samsung Canada is looking to collaborate with you, the SI / ISV community, to extend the reach of our offering.  Gain the ability to take advantage of the relationships Samsung has established to provide a more robust offering to your clientele. Secure access to Samsung’s knowledgeable team to gain insight on what partnerships and offerings could “up your game”.  It all starts at WPC 2011.

I will be at WPC all week hanging out with the @WPCCananda team at the Canadian Lounge.  Samsung laptops, tablets and smartphones will be on hand for you to try and there will be prizes to be won, but more details on that later.

 Feel free to DM me @SamsungConnect or @WirelessLife to continue the conversation.

Looking forward to chatting with you there.
