What stay in Vegas … Or Not
July 14th, 2011 § Leave a Comment
Currently attending the Symantec Vegas event (WSMC) it is obvious to me that there is a lot of exiting things during such an event – but also issues in having so many (different skilled people) at the same location, at the same time.
The Benefits;
- A tremendous Audience, who all feel a part of something positive
- An extensive amount of Opportunities, tracks and joyful training events.
- A Chance to meet up with Peers. Colleagues and Partners from around the World.
The Drawbacks
- Well, with the sheer volume of people, it is tough to dive deep into issues – it tends to be a bunch of rushed sessions with a lot of PowerPoint slides.
- No obvious direction in tracks – Benefit you can choose to your own desire, but perhaps not all tracks are identified in such a manner that I can (will) chose the best for myself.
And then there is Vegas….
Although Vegas can be a breathtaking experience (especially for us Europeans) – it also comes with a kind of tired look into it; a few days of excitement get’s replaced by the desire and longing for getting back, most likely due to the same thing that exits you – the constant pressure for “being engaged and encouraged” – and a Winner (of all times)… As a taxi driver once told me … Vegas Isn’t Built of the Money made by Winners.
But yes, we are here – engaged and in excellent mood.. Cannot wait for getting home.
