It's buzzing in the Hyatt hotel where ServiceNow customers and partners are amassing for Knowledge 12.
Just walking through the hotel I'm bumping into people I have met on Twitter, seeing faces that I recognise from Live Feed. We are just starting day 2 of the pre-conference and you can just see that people are excited to be here.
Driving up to the hotel from the airport the hotel just looks amazing in its "ServiceNow colours". The idea that we can fill a thousand room hotel and still have attendees staying across the town is mind blowing.
The energy around the conference is almost tangible - you can actually feel it. You can also see the excitement in the #know12 Twitter stream.
Over the past 8 days, 120 people and 320 tweets.
