Turkish Spark- Using Cisco Telepresence

We held the TurkishSpark "across the world" event yesterday at Cisco offices in San Jose and Istanbul. Cisco Turkey General Manager Umit Cinali and I sponsored the event to encourage the interaction and show the value of TelePresence in driving innovation.

Led by co-founders of TurkishSpark,  Babur Ozden and Kerim Baran, and organized by TABC (Turkish American Business Connection) organization board member Can Demiray, the event covered two hours worth of business ideation and feedback to specific business proposals.  We spoke with six entrepreneurs from Istanbul while five entrepreneurs joined us in San Jose.


This was the first TP experience for most of the attendees, who described it as "This is like flying First Class vs. Economy. I am having a hard time imaging going back to Skype!"
