@laurie ruettimann – Are you still traveling home? Sounds like one hell of a trip.

@jenn barnes – “Press friend”, really? She was something else….

Perfect summary of the soup we got ourselves into.

PS The Mastercard lady called me her “Press friend”. WTF?

@Michael VanDervort – Glad to hear I lulled you into an oxygen-deprived coma. Now you have the full experience!

Zzzzzzzzzzz oh shit. Your post still contains some of the miasma and effluvia from the smoldering wreckage of the conference. I passed out… I told Jenn Barnes that the conference looked pretty damn expemsive. Really glad I didn’t pay, though I would like to visit Zappos. I bet I could set that up with Tony Hsieh via Twitter, and spend the saved dough like a true Vegas wastrel. Sorry to hear the thing sucked. –Michael

@Jennifer McClure – Thanks Jennifer. And what’s worse is that I endorsed and promoted this thing, but more on that in Part II. Just shows that we need some more original thought out there in the industry.

Very interesting and well written post. I can feel your pain through the writing! Sorry the Talent Management Summit was such a bust. It’s a real shame when you can’t even make somethingin Vegas fun!
