Welcome to San Jose! It's great to see so many innovators in one room with an interest in bringing new resources and new players together.

So what are we doing here? To connect, resource, share, learn, collaborate, brainstorm, challenge, encourage and vote!

For the next two days I will be blogging here at Cisco for the feedback focus sessions and will do my best to keep the conversations alive here on NetSquared.

Daniel's at the podium now setting the stage for the event, asking us all to keep brevity at a premium as we seek to go through 21 great projects in a matter of hours. The hat person chooses Nabuur first as the projects begin their five minute introduction to present their work to the community.

Best wishes to all of the presenting innovation networks!
