Xsilva @ Macworld 2007
Xsilva's second year exhibiting at the Macworld Conference & Expo in San Francisco saw the rapidly-growing company kick off the week with the training of 41 resellers at the first LightSpeed Day Camp, featuring the new LightSpeed 2.0, the Next-Generation Point of Sale system for Mac OS X.
Xsilva then invited the world to see the newly-unveiled LightSpeed at its own bustling 10x20 booth at Macworld Expo at The Moscone Center.
Customers, resellers, consultants and Apple staffers packed the Xsilva booth for the four days of Macworld Expo (January 9th to 12th, 2007) to see in-depth demos of LightSpeed 2.0, which promises to become the premier small business solution on the Mac when it ships in February 2007.

LightSpeed In Action @ Macworld
Meanwhile, Mophie, an innovative iPod accessories maker that was designing and manufacturing silicone iPod cases right on the show floor, was using LightSpeed and Authorize.net credit card processing to sell their popular products to customers.
"We are not retail experts by any means, but LightSpeed allowed us to quickly checkout customers and report on daily activity in an environment with extremely heavy traffic", said Ben Kaufman of Mophie.
