Sharing The Point – Ecuador and STP Tour Wrap up

Another passionate group that’s ready to launch a user group and was excited to be visited by the Sharing the Point crew.  We made our way into the middle of the world in Quito Ecuador which is right near the equator.  In fact following the event Michael Noel and I made our way out to 0,0,0 latitude.

We had a great group that joined us.  Nearly 70 signed up to join us.   We had two folks on the ground who helped us arrange the facilities from afar.  We ended up at the UDLA -University de las Americas

Thanks to the locals who helped us get this off the ground.  Santiago did a lot to help promote the event and in sharing the event far and wide.

Ivan worked with the University, and joined us for lunch following the event.  He helped us with the local sponsorship.

A great group assembled together and many are interested in putting together something longer term.

Plans to return to Africa in Nigeria, Ghana and more in November…
