In the weeks leading to what is considered the web hosting industry's largest event, the WHIR reported that iNET Interactive, a social media company that owns the popular web hosting community Web Hosting Talk among other web properties, rather unexpectedly announced that it had acquired the HostingCon conference and trade show from Interjuncture.
Although the "feel" of conference remained relatively unaltered this year there were several iNET folks running around the event to answer questions about the recent acquisition and to gather information on what they could keep the same next year and what they should consider changing.
We sat down with Troy Augustine, the CEO of iNET Interactive, to discuss some of the motivations behind the acquisition and what we can expect to see from next year's event.
