SBC 2023 Seminars and Events: Seeking Member and Sponsor Input

Posted on October 26, 2022

Dear SBC Members and Prospective Sponsors,

As we begin to plan for 2023, we seek your input on the seminar and event series, such as:

• What cities are of interest to your organization?
• How many events can you commit to sponsoring in 2023?
• Proposed SBC Technology and Policy Summit – Date and Sponsorship Interest?
• Your feedback and suggestions based on 2022’s series

SBC Managing Director John Foley, and RF Connect (and SBC Board Member) Josh Gerst, have had a (mostly) friendly rivalry going back years.

This Sunday, Oct 16th at 8:20p ET, The Birds and the Boys meet
to battle for first place in the
NFL's hottest division, the NFC East.

Says Foley - "The Cowgirls are going to find out they've been beating second-tier teams - they are about to be served a dose of reality at the Linc this Sunday".

Says Gerst - "This is Dallas' year... our D is devastating, and they can't stop our running game."

The Stakes: Gerst has selected the American Red Cross Disaster Relief as his charity,
Foley has selected the Florida Disaster Fund. 
LOSER will make a hefty donation to the WINNER's charity.

Don't wait for the outcome!
Please click one or both of the links above
to support these important causes!

John and Josh say: "We invite everyone to talk trash in the LinkedIn comment section, and join us in supporting both of these great charities to help the folks in Florida come back from Hurricane Ian."

When assessing the value of Information, we may not always have an accurate understanding of what information should be collected, who needs to know what and how much collecting that information will cost. Let’s explore this concept as it relates to the information associated with transferring data from the ERCES annunciator to the building’s fire alarm system.
