Over the first six months of 2008, our sales in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa were 160 percent greater than the first six months of 2007. We’ve have 29 consecutive quarters of double-digit year-over-year growth. We were invited to speak at the Kaufman Bros. Investment conference being held today and tomorrow in New York City, where Gordon Daughtry, our Sr. VP of corporate development and strategy will be presenting an overview tomorrow at 11 a.m.
If we keep up this pace of growth, we should effectively own a majority share in the planet Mars by Q3 2127, which has, of course, been our primary goal all along. (If you’re an employee of NetQoS, and this comes as a surprise to you, you should read our mission statement sometime.)
Of course, a growing company needs to make its presence known – while our big in-house event of most years is the Symposium in Austin, Texas, we’ve also got other events happening in more places. For example, our East Coast customers are invited to Fort Lee, New Jersey for a regional workshop there around the same time as Interop New York.
But one of the biggest events comes up next October 9th and 10th, in Köln (Cologne), Germany, where we’ll be putting on NetQoS Symposium 08 Europe – with most* of the stuff that makes NetQoS Symposium in Austin a great place to hone your skills and build your expertise.
( *Unfortunately, we were not able to fly Mingo Fishtrap into Köln. )
We’ll also be attending the Cisco Networkers event in Brisbane, Australia, later this month.
All these worldwide events remind us that the whole point of having a wide area network is connecting distant locations and keeping in communication. I mean, from a philosophical point of view. And our job is to give you the tools to keep those communications running smoothly. So, if you think about it, we’re contributing to a world coming together as one.
Wow. That’s… kinda deep.
