The expo floor kicked into high gear on Tuesday afternoon with activity ranging from informal demonstrations of new products to casual conversation about the topics being presented in the sessions and panel discussions. Fittingly, the day closed with a talk by Michael Conner, IBM Distinguished Engineer, about Web services and its impact on business.
