I spent today at the Citigroup Tech Conference in New York City. A day like this involves meeting with mutual and hedge fund managers in thirty minute meetings which are known as "one on ones." In my case, each one on one involved anywhere from two to four different funds per meeting. All told I had 8 such meetings. In addition I presented Jupitermedia at a general session to an additional 50 fund managers.

Such a day is not a pleasent experience. Being a public company requires doing these financial expeditions. Of course we could decide never to participate in such meetings. It all comes down to whether one wants to be exposed to fund managers or not. For the time being we have decided to participate in such meetings but will reevaluate this policy at year end.

As to the title to this post: Fortune magazine recently published a list of the 100 fastest growing companies. Jupitermedia rated number 12 on this list. Jupitermedia had nothing to do with the Fortune magazine conclusions. Readers of this post can draw their own conclusions about the list.
