I love the MQ on conference schwag. Sorry I missed the laser pointer (I think) but I did end up with two pair of magnetic Ben-Wa balls from Deloitte. Dude, did you just say Ben Wa? ummm...yes...look it up. Seriously, a dubious gift to be sure. I feel like Captain Quig when I play with them. Then there's the every present risk of HIGHLY magnetic items in the laptop case...thats gotta be dangerous. Finally, I was sure seeing those things in my bag would prompt some sort of impromptu cavity search but gratefully it was not to be.
Notes from the conference: Shannon Wilson is the coolest boss on the planet. Really, so many ways to describe it but the best reference isnt my word, its how many people at work are now approaching him wanting to be a part of his team. A good boss is like gold.
When you attend a Gartner conference and you're in the last session....ask a friggin question. I failed to notice the 4 iPod Nano's upfront...one for each questioner. Well how could you know you ask? Ummm...cuz they did the exact same thing last time (2 yrs ago). Oh well. I didnt win a damn thing.
Overall the conference was one of the best I've been to...relevant info, GREAT Wifi (consistently and EVERYWHERE) and very very good food (from the vendors).
One more thing, IT conference are great because of the diversity. I see Indians, Asians, Europeans, Canadians, South Americans, Caribbeans. I love the voices and the perspectives.
