DOMOPALOOZA

Jeff's company had its second annual user conference this month and it was quite the spectacle. The company announced their official branding moving forward: DOMO is the business cloud. What does that mean, you ask? It means users can now access every piece of data needed to run their business better, and access that data from the cloud. Over the years "the cloud" has become a place to store various data whether it be photos, music, documents, statistics, etc. But there has never been one source that enables people to access all of that data at the same time and make sense of it. DOMO does just that. It accesses thousands of data sources and brings all the information together in meaningful, visual ways.

The purpose of this 2nd annual user conference (aka #DP16) was to hit home just how groundbreaking this announcement was and to show its users how to take advantage of all that DOMO has to offer. With that came celebrations. And there is no better description for these celebrations than PALOOZA. It was a wild, crazy, and extravagant party for three days. As an employee, Jeff was invited to the conference after-party where Walk the Moon and Nelly were performing at the Grand America Ballroom. One of my coworkers attended the conference workshops but didn't want to stay in Salt Lake all night for the concert. She offered me her all-access pass, so I got to join in the palooza-ing!

Every nook and cranny of the Grand America had been paloozafied.

They handed out fun light up foam sticks for the party.

We were right at the front of the stage during Walk the Moon's performance, and decided to take a break from the crazy crowd and loud speakers during the second concert. I had no idea there were so many Nelly fans in SLC : ) The day after the conference, Jeff's department held a "Finance Kickoff" and Domopalooza recap meeting at the Cliff Lodge at Snowbird Ski Resort. After the meeting, we were invited to take advantage of the gorgeous slopes surrounding us. There were so many runs! It was a fun couple of days! Ain't no party like a DOMO party.
