Danish at Disney

Slept like crap and up at 6am to get ready for the 7am networking session. 3.5 hours of standing in a room whilst vendors come up to you and get to know you and your accounts and try and push their products on you. Most of the main vendors I had already met so wasn't that useful really.

Then we had a breakout session just for our company where we went through our own brand products and services. Managed to win $10 answering some questions on life science (my bread and butter).

After a very tasty 3 course lunch (whilst working however) we had a further 4 hours of vendor product training which was again largely useless. To add to this all the rooms had a/c set to -20 to keep you awake by shivering.

Finally it was done at 5ish but to avoid sitting in south LA traffic for hours we went to downtown Disney (the two coworkers who I drove up in my car, another on my team and the marketing director I met yesterday). Very good time and conversations before driving home and getting back at 9pm a fairly broken man.
