Glare at Planet 2010 exhibition in Auckland
We have a little booth at Planet 2010 in Auckland, a telecommunications conference for New Zealand businesses. We were invited by the CEO of the Telecommunications Information Group (Rob Spray). Lyc, Fused and myself spent yesterday setting up our little booth. Want to see an Indigo exhibition booth? It's pretty low-key, but I like it - we have about 30 renders in frames and have set the booth up a little like an art gallery.
If you want to come meet us, the exhibition is open to the public on Saturday, or you can email me and I'll give you a call!
