We attend a lot of conferences as part of spreading the good word about Bacalhau, and as you may have noticed, conference season is in full swing.

For those of you who’ve never been on the exhibitor side of things at a conference, there are a couple of things that are a given. At a minimum you’ll have a small table to display demos and wares, a big-ish screen to show off your products, and (if the budget stretches) a roll-out banner with your company branding.

Here’s the thing… we all like to think our companies, products and branding are the bee’s knees, but when you’re in a conference hall with thousands of other vendors, it can be hard to stand out no matter how unique or exciting your offering is.

We like a challenge here at Expanso, and we always enjoy the opportunity to show-off Bacalhau in new and exciting ways, so we set ourselves the task of bringing Distributed Computing to life on the floor of TechCrunch Disrupt.
