If a company or business comes to terms with the notability guidelines for
sources, they are likely best placed to argue their case for an entry in
Wikipedia - or expansion of an existing entry. They would be negligent were
they not maintaining records of all press coverage.
Part of the process of disclosing their interest/involvement should be
revealing the IP addresses of their sales and marketing people - so they can
be pre-emptively blocked. :P

No, I think he meant the conference subject itself seemed like using
Wikipedia for "spam" purposes. I don't think he was suggesting
Lennart was a spammer. ;-)
Indeed! Lennart has explained the conference to me and it is what it
sounds like, but it sounds like they actually want to do it by
following our rules, so it sounds great to me.
