4. I was incredibly proud of the entire job done by my successors. The programming, the venue, the food, the AV, and the lighting were spectacular, and on a level unlike any conference for this industry I have ever attended. I had zero involvement in planning this thing and they did an amazing job that made me very proud. In short, instead of leaving the event deflated and worried about everything I missed back home while I was there, I left feeling invigorated and reengaged with this amazing industry I have spent my entire career working in. Next year, the whole event is going to be held on the Riverwalk
