Happy Hour in the City of Brotherly Love

Last Thursday, our friends at the Northeast DAS & Small Cell Forum hosted the Philadelphia in-building community for the first of their famous happy hour socials in this region. The gathering took place at Market Street’s Revolution House. Spirits were high and the conversation flowed into the evening – overall a great gathering for the ecosystem!

It was great seeing many new faces and the participation of new companies, bringing the local in-building community together. Creating new ties, making new friends, and exploring new opportunity avenues – this is what the Northeast DAS & Small Cell Forum is all about.

Take me out to the ball… ahem… in-building seminar

During an epicly cold week in Canada, iBwave hosted some of Toronto’s top in-building professionals for an afternoon seminar and cocktail at the Rogers Centre. Our guests were welcomed into the .400 (get it?) Summit Suite, which is graced with a fantastic view of the stadium.

Dominique Gauthier, iBwave’s CTO opened the day with some interesting facts on prediction and modeling in stadiums, buildings and tunnels, (our latest obsession). Joe Rizzo of Rizzo Consulting then stepped up to the plate for a presentation on his company’s design and deployment at Lucas Oil Stadium for the 2012 Super Bowl. After a busy and dynamic Q&A period with Mr. Rizzo, we moved on to Scott Pereira, Director of Sales Engineering at iBwave who offered a great demo of iBwave Mobile, our app for in-building professionals on the go. The seminar ended with a Rapid Fire panel, where we chose leaders from all over the in-building ecosystem to give quick answers to tough questions on current in-building trends, the Canadian in-building market and the future of in-building. The panel was a grand slam for feeding happy hour conversations!

Photos de l’évènement in-building à Montréal le 13 décembre

Nous étions ravis de recevoir l’écosystème in-building de Montréal hier pour notre évènement célébrant le début du temps des fêtes.

L’après midi a débuté avec des présentations sur l’évolution des produits iBwave, incluant la modélisation et la prédiction dans iBwave Design. Un panel “rapid fire” sur le futur de l’industrie in-building canadien a suivi – avec des discussions très intéressantes ! Puis, nous avons procédé au tirage de nos 10 premières tuques pour notre nouvelle initiative GOT COVERAGE?

Finalement, le groupe a profité d’un 5 à 7. Merci à tous ceux qui étaient présents !

We were delighted to host Montreal’s in-building ecosystem yesterday for our event highlighting the beginning of the holiday season.

The afternoon kicked off with some presentations on the iBwave product suite evolution, including modeling and prediction in iBwave Design. A “rapid fire” panel ensued, with questions on the future of the Canadian in-building industry and some very interesting discussions! We then did a draw for the first 10 hats of our new GOT COVERAGE? initiative.

Finally, the group took advantage of a cocktail hour. Thanks to all who were present!
