Jonathan did you deliver the presentation in Spanish or English? Is there a video anywhere? Got job on this, I’m interested to hear the details of the presentation.
Dave / CoreSearchInc.com : would definitely like to get together to share more on this Ecuador Gov’t hosted technology conference…I know you’re staying super busy sourcing the world’s best programmers for top companies in NYC, Chicago etc., but whenever you make it around to Asheville again, let’s be sure to do lunch or something.

P.S. Only photos available for this conference at this point…most of the conference was in Spanish, but with expert translators and specialized accompanying headsets for audience on site, my presentation in English wasn’t an issue at all.
Great to hear it was all good and you had a great time.
Best regards,
