It's been a couple of very exciting weeks for Zoobe! May started strong with the Startup Safary crowd visiting our Zoobe office, and our CEO Lenard Krawinkel and CMO Norbert Meinike heading to the US for some hard work and of course, lots of fun. First stop has been the Collision Conference (#CollisionConf) in downtown Las Vegas, which in case you don't know, celebrated its first edition as the US chapter of the successful Web Summit Conference in Dublin.
Yes, that's right we were so amazed by our experience in Dublin last November that we couldn't say no to another great networking opportunity, this time in the US. Being as Zoobe is the most entertaining app to burst out of Berlin into the International scene (says who? well, us!), we most definitely wanted to be part of a this show in the heart of the show business industry.
So, off they went: Lenard and Norbert started exploring the city, meeting some funny and crazy types on the streets of Las Vegas right before joining the opening party of Collision. They were not alone in this quest: we send our own Angela Merkel to make sure they were behaving, doing their jobs properly and of course being the queen of the event.
Angie made it to #LasVegas and is happy to join the @CollisionHQ attendees tomorrow. #CollisionConf #collisionangie http://t.co/DL76oxCw3a

After a long and inspiring day networking away, Lenard, Norbert and Angela tried to get some rest before day 2. Everyone at Zoobe was hyped to know they were running a specially dedicated Zoobe exhibition stall and everything needed to be more than ready. Well, here you can see the result of their excellent work:
