Real and Virtual People I Met at Innovex 2017
Copyright © 2017
Innovex 2017 is a large conference in Israel. Yossi Vardi invited Hagai Cohen and myself so we thought we had better go. Yossi was nowhere to be found. So we tried to meet people we didn’t know that we wanted to meet. Isn’t that what networking is all about? Liza took our registration. We knew it would be a great day.
