Can I get a “What what?” The first annual Viridian PowerUP! 2010 Convention is now over—but the excitement is still palpable. What a fantastic event. From the passion felt (and displayed) by the attendees, to the participation and hard work of the Home Office Staff and Viridian Executives, we have all been changed forever (and for the better) by this remarkable event.

This milestone event had more moving parts to it than a Swiss watch, and although there were a few glitches in the cogs, the overwhelming response from the overwhelming majority was that it was a fantastic success.

What a way to start a tradition.
