The last few trembling days are upon us. In the US, Memorial Day weekend is ahead and with that the unofficial start of the summer!

We can’t wait to kick off the summer in Chicago with Social Connections 11 next week, the agenda is jam packed with great sessions from amazing speakers and our evening event will be something to talk about for ages!

Right now, we wanted to take this opportunity to welcome you all to Chicago, if you haven’t signed up yet, there is still time to do so.

The Social Connections team wishes you all safe travels from wherever in the world you are traveling from, and we will see you in a few short days!

The last Gold sponsor to get highlighted in this series is Red Pill Now. A new sponsor to Social Connections!

Since its inception, Red Pill Now has focused on providing new and exciting ways for organizations to get the highest possible ROI from their Notes data by looking beyond the Notes client. Rather than migrating data to other platforms, Red Pill Now’s development efforts focus on cost-effective, low risk solutions based on Java and  Graph technologies. The Red Pill Now API is designed to simplify development of modern, web-based desktop and mobile applications, while the Red Pill DIG portal allows for search and discovery of content across your entire Notes domain – something simply not possible using the Notes client.

With a keen eye on outstanding user experience and interface design, Red Pill Now will work with you to leverage your Notes data in ways you may never have imagined – from design and building responsive or adaptive web applications, adding social capabilities, or making your data accessible to the Internet of Things, there is always an opportunity out there to maximize your investment and ROI from your Notes data.

Make sure to check out their website at http://redpillnow.com and their booth at social Connections in Chicago!
