    Earlier in the morning before the Keynotes, Gartner had placed employees at the registration counters to help with the "self-registration". ZDNet.com.au found it very painless. In the afternoon, when this photo was taken, the counters were deserted.

    Instead of a red carpet, Gartner had fluorescent boxes along the walkway, hurtful if hungover.

    Being the afternoon, the atmosphere was relaxed. Groups of people chatted or wandered around the stalls.

    The most action was around the tables with food. It seemed there really is such a thing as three-thirtyitis.

    ZDNet.com.au wasn't tempted to eat any of the offered morsels, however. "Thai Chicken Curry Pies with Chilli Jam".

    Of the stalls set up, Google seemed to have attracted the most interested Symposium visitors.

    Meanwhile, Gartner's own booth wasn't well frequented in the afternoon tea hour.

    The Mercedes also looked a little lonely.

    Luckily it was comforted by the touch of dozens of Gartner-branded balloons inside it.

    Gartner would be pleased at the demand for one-on-one sessions with its analysts.

    Then the Exhibition Centre suddenly turned into an airport — it's an executive lounge!

    ZDNet.com.au asked for a peek inside. Special people lounge in white cosy chairs with fluffy cushions and when they feel the need, fetch themselves a tea or coffee.

    Those not fond of reclining in the cosy chairs could choose to be funky in a red armchair.

    ZDNet.com.au also believes the Gartner tote bag given out to attendees will be the "in" accessory of the season.

    Back in the main hall, HP was all about green. Perhaps it wanted to offset the carbon for its stand?
