Ken Wasch, President of SIIA, started today's events by kicking off things with a few short words.  Most notably, he highlighted the progress that Cloud Computing has made since the SIIA OnDemand conferences started just 4 years ago, but Ken then quickly remarked how there was still progress to made in the industry.  He also mentioned that in terms of attendance, this years event was the biggest OnDemand conference that SIIA's put on to date - surely a trend that will continue.  This success is due in part to some of the social media pieces SIIA has put in place - namely live streaming of speaches and some live blogging and twittering brought to you all, by none other than DreamSimplicity.  Thanks Ken for putting together yet another great event!  We are for one, excited to see what else is to come...
