Ann: Mix and Go at Emerging Technology Conference, page-54

re: Ann: Mix and Go at Emerging Technology Co... Thanks to Dolcevita, HM004, Nuttsie and Flippinphil for your posts above.

Sojourner I was not offended at all by your post - Everyone is entitled to their view point and that is what the forums are about.

My point regarding the announcement of the conference was to convey the fact that Anteo to date have been very business like with their announcements and the announcement of the Oak Ridge Conference showed a transition of Anteo as a presenter alongside some globally significant companies.

Sojourner you said -

If you were testing Mix 'n Go, and everything in testing was sweet... why would you wait to attend a conference where your competitors who are also possibly also testing Mix 'n Go to discuss a contract? Discussing a contract, a possible deal... at a conference... with possibly a lot of other competitors present.

If it were me, I'd be on the phone right away, organising private meetings to negotiate a deal (probably pushing for exclusivity at a cheap price). I certainly wouldn't want to be doing it with possible competitors around."

You mentioned the conference being not the best place to have meetings with other competition around - I disagree - What better place to continue discussions and initiate discussions with new companies. Who is to say that a handful of private meetings didnt take place?

With several interested parties at the conference and some at the pointy end it could act as a hurry up for other companies attending that could hear whispers about Company ABC working with Anteo and getting close which could help progress other companies in their decision timeline with Anteo.

Also Sojourner you said -

"However, I'm reluctant to read too much into innocuous pieces of information, and make the leap to constantly raise my own hopes and expectations. I think that's usually an early symptom of confirmation bias"

My reply to this is what seems like innocuous pieces of information to some with more research may make alot of sense.

Interesting reading on confirmation bias - Something to think about is that what I post on Hot Copper is not the extent of my research.

I am fulltime researching companies - ADO is a clear leader but I have a few others on my radar now.

I hope you continue to post Sojourner as you sound quite intelligent.

Also being ANZAC Day my respect to our diggers
