Newsmakers on hand at Agenda

Shelby Stanger and I spent the day at Agenda, which is celebrating its 10th year in business.

We ran into a wide range of executives and people in the news of late, including Paul Naude, who was walking the aisles with principals of the private equity firm he is working with to buy Billabong. New Quiksilver CEO Andy Mooney, and outgoing CEO Bob Knight, among many others, were also on hand.

Several company founders were at the show including Al Merrick of Channel Islands, Pierre Andre Senizergues of Sole Technology, Richard Woolcott of Volcom, Bob Hurley of Hurley and Greger Hagelin of WeSC came all the way from Sweden.

We have many photos of who and what we saw above in our slide show.

Agenda continues today at the Long Beach Convention Center.
