“The Pen Is Horrible”

Feedback from #BoS2017

Here at Business of Software HQ we’ve landed without too much turbulence (metaphorical or aeronautical) back into a week of sitting at desks and sending emails – a far cry from being in Boston last week for the 11th annual Business of Software USA Conference.

Having said that…

We’ve had the biggest grins on our faces reading the feedback from this year’s attendees.

It’s fantastic to hear from both familiar and new names that BoS continues to provide opportunities and content that genuinely help the growth of their businesses. Even some of the negative comments have made us laugh…

“The pen is horrible.”

Consider it noted (with one of those horrible pens).

Here are a few of our highlights from your comments:

“If you’re wondering where all the insanely smart, down-to-earth, and incredibly helpful software folks of sound moral compass are hanging out, they’re at BoS.”

“Never has a business conference made me want to give everything I could to a giant collection of strangers. The people-first philosophy of BoS has reignited my desire to get out and help people for the right reasons.”
