Fairchij: Chris reported:

“overall there were 650 participants who either were on the line, webcast or took in the replay as of this morning.”

And even if all of them were from Silicon Valley (which they are not), that would still have clearly met my expectations of "almost none" from Silicon Valley, as I predicted.

Let's face it, we are virtually unknown, and it is good to have a number now to underpin this. But there's no need to feel depressed now, because this number only shows how large the potential is!
