Marco’s 1st Annual Technology Tradeshow –Technology Gone Wild – took place at the Saint Paul RiverCentre on February 5th. Over 215 business professionals from various industries including education, financial, retail and manufacturing attended the event. 
Participants had the opportunity to attend up to five of 15 different breakout sessions offered to learn about the latest technologies for their business. Topics included data center architecture, content management, video and collaboration, backup and email archiving, flash storage and more. They also had a chance to visit with 26 technology vendors at their exhibitor booths and network with other business professionals throughout the day. 
Keynote speakers Mike Willbanks, Chief Technology Officer, and Brock Maiser, Senior Vice President of Sales from Sportsdigita, talked about how their interactive sports agency implements technology in sports. Mike and Brock showcased the digital sponsorship, ticketing and fan engagement products they develop for professional sports teams such as the Minnesota Wild, the Twins, the Timberwolves and the Vikings. 
Marco also had a few very special guests join the event. Fifty lucky attendees had the opportunity to meet Torrey Mitchell and Marco Scandella from the Minnesota Wild and have their photos taken with the players. Retired Minnesota Wild player Wes Walz was also there to greet all of the attendees and sign autographs. Twenty attendees won a pair of tickets to the March 13th Minnesota Wild vs. New York Rangers game in VIP Club Level seating and many others won other great prizes given away by Marco’s vendors. 
Cisco and Konica Minolta were the VIP sponsors for Marco’s Technology Tradeshow and contributing sponsors included Barracuda, Brocade, HP, Mitel, Aruba Networks, March Networks, Uptivity, Singlewire, EMC and M-Files. Marco is already looking forward to planning their 2nd Annual Technology Tradeshow in Spring of 2015.
