27,000 people poured into Moscone center in San Francisco, and Cisco invited 20 of us to attend as VIP social media ambassadors hand picked by Bryan Kramer of PureMatter. In fact they over-prepared, including having network access points in nearby hotels like the Mariott where people were holding one-on-one meetings.
