We rock in Barcelona!

Our booth gets a lot of attention, and since several of us also are busy running to and from important meetings, the ones with booth duty never have a dull moment. The combination of having an intriguing booth and a different message than the rest makes us stand out (we are outstanding J). No other booths have children showing so I’m so glad we brought all our “kids” the whole way from Norway. 

It’s hectic, but great energy and exciting for all of us, especially since we have several of the meetings with high powered executives from some of the worlds leading mobile operators and handset manufacturers at our booth. 

I’m so impressed by how everyone is able to handle everything from basic questions, demonstrations, even live TV-interviews on the fly! Besides “life at the booth” business is done everywhere in Barcelona. One of the benefits of having the conference here is that you get to explore and see the city, at least the great restaurant scene. Every day is packed with business lunches and dinners and late-night networking events. 

Last night Nils and I were invited to meet a few investors at 1am in the morning! We got home at around 5 AM, and the next meeting started at 9 AM. Not much sleep in Barcelona - I can tell you that!
Running around from meetings to meetings - both night and day - 
demands a professional looking founder even after only 2-3 hours 
of sleep. I kept my make up kit in the meeting room behind our stand.
