At the eCommerce Expo in Two Pics
April 12, 2008
I had a ball at the EMERGE eCommerce expo which was here in Kingston, Jamaica at the Hilton Hotel. It was a decent first start, looking forward to next year. The highlight for me was the conversations I had with entrepreneurs who are just bursting with passion for this thing we’ve all embraced called the Internet.These are two pics for now. I have more coming. In the first one, I’m sandwiched between Maurice McNaughton, Chief Technology Officer for Paymaster Group and Neif Neamatt from Digicel Jamaica Business Division. And no I didn’t stick Maurice in the eye. The Second one is Heather and Chad from Jamdeal.com. Chad is a pioneering tech entrepreneur who’s brought us eBay like sites for the Caribbean. (Disclosure: Chad is one of my business partners in Caribclix.com)
Glad to know it came off well. A very close friend asked me to help him pitch it to some sponsors and I am proud to see what he has accomplished - we need more of these events in Jamaica and around the island.
The Internet presents real opportunities for so many of us and I firmly believe that we just need to pique the interest of some people and let them meet some passionate entrepreneurs in order to get more people involved.
