First off, thanks Minnov8 gang for interviewing Shivani. She is an absolute rock star and it is good to see her spread her wings and increase her visibility locally with the MinneDemo for FlipToast and now the Minnov8 interview.
So what did I think of the WWDC experience? It was stellar! Although WWDC is a developer conference, as a founder/marketing guy, I found it to be the best networking event I’ve come across of all of the various mobile events I’ve been to. I’m going to go again next year, and I’m also thinking I’ll head out to Google IO next year too.
Keep up the great work gang!
