IMHO, it's really indicative for CM and by extension its Asia-Pacific partner. Mackin formerly ran brand strategy at CA, and it simply doesn't get any classier than a top-50 gathering at Stanford U (Palo Alto). It's an A-list and Stanford is tech Mecca!

Meanwhile on their East Coast, CM were recently exhibiting at the SIFMA (a quick drive down the 24 & 78) - see http://events.sifma.org/conf_vendors/vendorLookup.aspx?CID=107&VENDORID=539
