From IGLOO Software's CEO Dan Latendre's public blog:

IGLOO Software attended the Enterprise 2.0 conference in Boston this past June. It was a very informative event, providing attendees with a snapshot of new emerging web 2.0 and social networking trends identified by thought leaders from around the world.
