It was a beautiful few days in Chicago when I attended TS2. I had a fabulous dinner outside Rush Street watching the happy crowds passing by. It was a perfect Wednesday night for baseball as The White Sox beat the Tampa Rays 4 to 3. It was the first time riding a subway and my experience on the L was just like in the movies. Travel down a dingy set of stairs to a long cement deck next to the track. The train comes to a rapid halt and hundreds of people pile into the cars for a jiggly, crowded rapid ride. By the time you are done you know your neighbor intimately, if you know what I mean. Anyway back to the business part. My seminar went really well. I know this because of the cool audience response system we used from Meridia. Each attendee had a keypad at their table and I sprinkled my presentation with questions that flashed on the screen. The attendees had eight seconds to press a selected answer on the keypad then the percentages of selected answers appeared next to the question. It was really cool to get real time feed back and I am grateful that the answers came back positive for delivering content of value. The statistics will be compiled and returned to me to use to target my information even more effectively. The exhibit floor was rather slow and I hear the show was down about 10% from last year. The exhibitors that were there did a great job for the most part. I did see some new ideas, reconnected with suppliers and met some new contacts. Don’t miss it next year.
