The seminars were the reason that I went to the PWNA’s Orlando conference. I got some new things to think about!
I have said before and I will say again “What is a new idea worth to you and your businessâ€. The interaction between people has the potential of spawning new ideas. Many times these new ideas come to us in the conversations that we have with other people in this business!
“Wow, this is worth the tripâ€! This is what a fellow that has been in this business for 27 years told me when I told him about a few things that we do and have done. I did not think that I could tell him anything that he had not already done or tried! Have you ever experienced the joy of giving? It’s neat!
So what if the airline fare was a little more for some vs. others. You can only please part of the people part of the time! I again ask, “What is a new idea worth to you?†The new ideas can come at anytime. During lunch, a chat in the hall, from a vendor, ideas are being exchanged all of the time. You must listen because the information flow is tremendous and you never know when someone will say or show you something that just blows you away. That’s when the lights go on in you mind, and you say to yourself, ah ha!
Yes, the exhibit area had its problems. The heat/cold was not what we wanted in some of the seminar rooms. This is the real world. We have to deal with “Not as we would have wanted†situations all of the time on the job and with our customers. Get over it folks! This is real life!
The PWNA is the only association that represents our industry. These conferences are only as good as WE make them. If you did not like the last conference, tell the Conference committee that you would like to help make the next conference better by providing help, suggestions, etc.
My pennies worth,
