I'm late in posting this, but I spent the second half of last week at ChannelAdvisor Marathon '06 which was a lot of fun to be part of. (As full disclaimer CA is a SCV portfolio company).
As quick background, based in RTP, NC, ChannelAdvisor provides technology and services that help manufacturers and retailers sell products through online marketplaces (i.e. eBay, Overstock.com, Amazon.com) comparison shopping engines (i.e. Shopping.com, Shopzilla, Nextag, Froogle) and search engines (i.e. Google, Yahoo).
The conference pulled together hundreds of their customers and prospects along with top execs from partners like Google, eBay, Overstock.com, PayPal, IAC and Shopping.com. Not only was the conference great for customers/prospects to get the latest industry information straight from the source, but CA also brought in some other speakers (which included me right after Google's keynote) to talk about other ways to grow their businesses. This was good for me to be part of with my interest in e-commerce companies.
By the way, I need to mention that I was really impressed with the way ChannelAdvisor ran the conference, always very polished. Great job by their sales and marketing teams!
