Hard though it may be to believe, the Executive Connection Summit (ECS) is right around the corner. Approximately 300 attendees from all walks of the office technology universe will converge on the Scottsdale Resort and Spa from Feb. 8-11 in the sunny Arizona town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s but one question: Are you going? OK, so technically there\u2019s two, because if you answered \u201cno\u201d to the first query, the follow-up is: Why miss it? We won\u2019t brow-beat you; after all, you may have tickets to the Super Bowl. Or your wife\/daughter\/daughter-in-law is about to have a baby. But if you don\u2019t have a valid excuse for sitting out ECS, then perhaps you need a little more convincing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the current attendee list is a who\u2019s who of the office technology world\u2014truly a red-carpet event including all of your favorite personalities and industry amigos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s an hors d’oeuvres plate of content you can expect to see in Arizona:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
