Cocktails and Conversation
is a new networking format that the ICC has
started to allow it's members and attendees to
network in an environment conducive to making new
business relations. The following photo
essay reflects back on the last three Cocktails
and Conversations.
April 23,
2002 - Sherman Street Event Complex
April 23rd TableTalk lined the
sides of the 2nd floor ballroom at the Event
Complex. People circled the tables and
made new contacts.
TableTalk wasn't the only
place networking was happening. The
ballroom filled up with people roaming the
room looking for the right contact.

Another great view from the
mezzanine; a great place to get above the
crowd and get an overview of the layout.
Cocktails & Conversation
runs from 4:30 pm - 7:00pm. A
convenient time frame for people to step out
of the office and into a relaxing
deal-making environment.
ICC Ambassador, Byron James,
chats with attendees in the sign-in room
about the benefits of being an ICC Sponsor.

on the C-Level TableTalk. This table
was such a success, people were asking all
night how to get in on the conversation.
Another view of the C-Level
TableTalk. Does this mean we now need
a C-Level Room? Looks a little
packed...
Attendees crowded in from all
angles to hear about what the C-Level
Executives were talking about. Must be
something positive--nothing attracts
attention like good news!
TableTalk tables cater to
different niches. The Consultants
table is intended for consultants to form
relationships to refer contacts and
clients.
Even though there's rumor of
the job scene improving, opportunity seekers
exchange tips and leads. Hopefully
even some encouraging words.
May 1,
2002 - Computer & Technology
Showcase
Caron Ellis, an ICC volunteer,
poses behind the sign-in table at the CTS
show. Thank you for all your help,
Caron!
After the long day of being at
the CTS show, attendees and ICC members
mixed and mingled in the afternoon to kick
back for a while.
Cocktails and Conversation was
held in the middle of the show room
floor--where else could you find room for
all these people?
Another shot of the afternoon
event.

about their great new products.
One last parting shot of the
May 1 Cocktails and Conversation.
May 21,
2002 - Sherman Street Event Complex
Mark Franke - President of
Relatrix, an ICC Sponsor, chats with an
attendee. Like most, they're probably
planning their trip to the new TableTalk
room.
Securitas shines in the middle
of the floor of the ballroom.
LiquidCompass folks chat the
evening away. When Zack Lewis
(center), CEO of Liquid Compass was asked
why he attended, he responded, "Because
I saw my photo in the ICC Newsletter."
Hip Consulting Group exhibits
in a hip venue.
The Colorado Technical
University table gets one of many visitors.
Barrett Stillings(left) of The
Design Mine, chats with others in the
corner.

tables in the new TableTalk room.
The Consultants table once
again packs them in.
The New Product Development
table attracts many--which is a great thing
to see. New products = new business.

C-Level Executives have a pow-wow
in the corner of the TableTalk room.
XO Communications banner is a
precursor to their broadband connectivity coming
soon to the 1770 Sherman Street Event
Complex. Wi-Fi access here we come!

Communications, chats with an event
attendee.
Jim Intriglia, Barry Gingrich,
and Terrie O'Connell catch up outside the
TableTalk room.
Alf Gardner and Frank Traditi
pause for a second to pose for the camera.
Byron James and Cody Pearson
comparing notes on the event. So far,
so good.
Why have an exhibit table when
you can have a 10 foot banner? Kudos
to The Design Mine.
Mike McDonald
(right) President of Lantech will be working
with XO Communications in providing Internet
connectivity for future ICC events. Our
exhibitors and speakers will soon get a
chance to participate in another milestone
for this 1907 building. It was one of the
first to be wired for electricity in Denver!
