July 29th, 1997
Microsoft Global Summit MGS, Orlando Florida
At Microsoft’s internal marketing and sales conference with over 5000 Microsoft employees from all over the World attending, Synon again attracted massive interest. All the exhibitors were prevented from handing out t-shirts directly at the show but that didn’t stop Synon from collecting business cards/names and addresses from attendees with the promise of sending them a t-shirt by mail! To date Synon has fulfilled their end of the bargain with over 1000 GOT OBSYDIAN t-shirts sent out as well as over 50 Synon Microsoft Denim shirts. No doubt the hallways of Microsoft campuses all over the World are filling up with Microsoft employees sporting Synon clothing.
As if that wasn’t enough, Synon co-sponsored with Digital and SAP the party of the conference at the Epcot center in Disney World. Part of Epcot was closed off for the 1500 Microsoft employees that were invited. Food, wine and a spectacular fireworks and lightshow capped off one of the most memorable nights at MGS.
