Went to a local Salesforce thing yesterday. The promo for it was good. We do Cloud stuff and there are some obvious match ups between what we do and Salesforce.
The information we were given looked excellent.
Things went down hill when we arrived and found half the deligates at the Tully's two levels down. We took the hint and got our coffee there. Upstairs there was an 'exhibition' which turned out to be consulting companies selling consulting to each other.
They went further downhill and off the fucking ski jump when the first thing their regional VP of sales showed us was a 'safe harbor' disclaimer stating that what they were about to show us, didn't necessarily exist.
Yes, they had created the tech equivalent of an infomercial with fake product animations.
We left early.
