I’ll post some pictures later on tonight (or tomorrow) both here and on our swedish Panda Security blog (blogg.pandasecurity.se) together with some additional info.

Right now I’m at the airport (Bromma) waiting for a flight to Umeå where I will help a partner present our solutions to a possible client, and the calendar for the rest of the week looks like a car wreck…

It’ll work out though, and it’s nice to have something to do that I actually enjoy. No recession here for sure :9

Cheers,

My colleagues Sebastian Zabala and Rickard Uddenberg are also going to make appearances during the day and we’ve coordinated our efforts under the phrases “Antivirus, is it really an effective protection?” and “We don’t trust antivirus, do you?”. It’s going to be fun, heh.

I’m also going to Finland next week to participate in the “Panda Security Days” over there, and I’ll be staying in Tampere for two days. This will also be a good opportunity to handle some administrative issues on-site in our Finnish office, so double niceness. The only downside to this trip apart from having to be away from home is that I’ll miss the next “Pirate” meeting here in Stockholm, but I’ll catch up through our blog (Swedish) and Skype channels.

Cheers,

The Stockholm event was a success which was visited by both old, new and possible customers. Met some people that’s been with us for quite a while and it’s also always nice to meet new faces.

The day started out with some nice laptop-vs-projector problems, which of course attracted a crowd of willing engineers.

Even our CEO wanted in

Corporate and retail support in perfect symbiosis as they handled the clothing things. Yep, it’s starting to get cold again in Sweden. And yep, you gotta love the assignment.

The seminars started out with our CEO speaking,

Then Sebastian Zabala,

And then we had a break. I talked to customers with product questions or suggestions,

And then it was time for Pedro’s quite long (but informative) presentation…

.. in which he talked about some interesting things that might have been a bit over the audiences heads. But I think they got the ideas and understood the main picture of what he was talking about. Not sure about the deep technical details though.

All-in-all a great event.

Sorry for lousy quality… had to peak to ISO settings for the camera to even perform without a flash in the low light…

Cheers,
