Where your customers are

Welcome to the Midweek Memo: a weekly digest of the city’s top tech events, personnel moves, job openings, and industry opportunities.

Before we get into this, check out the results from the Weekly Poll: On Sunday, we asked if you were headed to Collision this week. Sixty-one percent of you said yes.

Here’s what the “no” group had to say:

• “It's important to pick conferences that will help us achieve our objectives. It's more important to meet with customers, who often don't attend the conferences. ”

• “Focusing on growing the business. May go every 2/3 years. ”

Now, onto your Midweek Memo…
