I’ve just had a really, really wonderful experience. Today I attended “campus Party’. at the Guadalajara expo. . It’s an international event held various places around the world. that gather college students and startuss for a mix of an party hackathon, and crazy campout. . Its’ unlike anything I’ve ever seen.. If I heard right there were 16,000 students attending.. Most of them camped in a huge room full of 8000 tents (yes.. thats 3 zeros.. ).. I’m not even sure it was possible until I waled into the camping pavilion. It looked like..    like .. I don’t even have words.

I spent the entire day talking to brilliant students and entrepreneurs about their projects and plans.. I even got a chance to do a keynote.. there were more than a thousand folks in the audience.. and it was really. really fun. I spoke on a combination of Play at work and IoT.. it seemed to work for this audience > I also had some fun interviews with press.. good questions, nice folks.. My deep , deep thanks to the organizers of Campus Party and my colleagues at IBM for all their help in putting this on.. and keeping me (mostly) out of trouble.

i can’t even describe how cool it was talking to all these folks.. I must have been in over a thousand selfies today.. i took 300 of my own.. I hope by looking you can get the amazing mood  of this event

I’m sitting at the Guadalajara airport waiting on my redeye back home
.. I’m still trying to process all that I saw today.. the one feeling I am coming away with is a good feeling about our future given all the smart and wonderful folks I met in Mexico today..

More tomorrow..
