It was first held at the Airport Hilton, it was called AnimalFarm and that suggestion came from Jaime. It was later held at several other venues. It was only the latter days where it was held at the fairpark.

Motorola expressly and specifically disavowed any connection with AnimalFarm but they did send people. I tried to get Mot to sponsor a users group meeting during the Tucson channel partner meetings and Mot said legally there were too many problems.

So, I took it upon myself to rent the conference room and invite everyone to come. We were the pigs taking over the farm from the farmer. Thus AnimalFarm. And thus trademarked by WB Manufacturing as it was our trade show and our main means of marketing each year.

But not the first time I have been knocked off by Mot and its descendants... At least WispAmerica asked permission...

Someone??? It's me, Chuck!

We've called it Animal Farm since it was held at the Utah State Fairpark... you used to join us and speak about the history, etc. I miss that.

In any case, we've virtualized it this year. As such, we'll record it and post it to our forum.

If you'd like to attend, please visit our website to see what we're doing to virualize the WISPAmerica experience (and sign up to attend): https://www.cambiumnetworks.com/wispamerica2020/

Thanks!
Matt

Really, someone is using my AnimalFarm trademark without permission?

I just registered for the cambium "Animal Farm" webinar, however it's at 8 central which is 7am my time.

Does anyone know if they record these for later playback? I'm not particularly thrilled about getting up that early, considering I've been on the "go to bed at 4am" schedule recently.
