My Favorite Part of the SPBT Conference
May 5, 2008 by Steve Woodruff
In 2 weeks, we head down to the annual SPBT Conference (Orlando this year). And I always look forward to it. I like the workshops, the keynotes, the exhibit floor, and I enjoy the general buzz and energy level.
But as I think about this year’s event, there’s one thing I look forward to above all. And that’s hanging out with colleagues who have become valued friends, partners, clients, and collaborators over the years. I really value the relationships that have developed as a result of the SPBT.
After several days of intensive networking, I know I’ll be inwardly drained. My native introversion will demand respite from my learned extroversion. But that’s OK. Rubbing shoulders again at the conference will be blast. Can’t wait to see y’all there!
(and, an advance Thanks! to all the SPBT staff and volunteers who have been working hard to get everything ready for 2008!)
Thanks for the kind words, Steve!
