This startup parked a van with a sign in front of Box's conference that SLAMMED Box and Microsoft

Silicon Valley document sharing company Box is putting on its star-studded Boxworks tech conference this week, with speakers like Apple CEO Tim Cook and Cisco chairman John Chambers.

Huddle has been known to do the trolling billboard-on-a-van before. Back in 2012, when Microsoft bought another competitor, Yammer, Huddle tried to poach unhappy employees from Yammer by renting a van with this sign.
