"Just wanted to drop you a quick note that I really enjoyed the discussion last week in Tysons Corner. I usually hate vendor pitches but I was actually really impressed with some of the presentations, as I had no idea some of those capabilities were as mature as they are. Great event, and I'm looking forward to the next few in the DC area!"
