I have to agree, it was a dynamite event. And it is still going on at the Carpe Diem down by the beach. I had a wonderful time.
For me the best part of the conferences is always the people. Many have become old friends over the years, and every conference there are new people to meet and welcome into the circle.
While pretty young girls don’t do much for me, famous people like Doyle and Calvin are exiting and stimulating to meet.
Everytime I attend a conference I come back with new ideas and contacts and this time is no different. Things will be hopping at G&C once I get back, and I bet we’ll be busy until we pick up more inspiration in London in January.
Touching base with tried and true business partners is also always inspiring, these relationships just get better over time and we know each other well enough to be aware that it’s a win-win or lose-lose situation for us. If one of us succeeds, we both do. If one of us does not do well, the other loses too. That kind of business relationship makes for partners that help each other do better and I am very happy to be able to continue cementing these relationships year after year.
I am staying one more day to rest up and enjoy the sights and sun, and then I am heading home.
