Cartes 2012 - Paris
when i changed jobs in sept last year, i definitely thought many times about where this job would take me, and what i would have at the end of it....
so far in 14 months, it has taken me to half a dozen new places, and now, i can at least tell people in this industry that i was lucky enough to speak at cartes....
it's probably not such a big deal for the high ranked execs, and VP's and CEO's.... but from the lineup of speakers over the 3 days, i was clearly batting above my average in Paris last week...
work-wise, it was a pretty good week in Paris last week.... and the response and interest to the topic that i presented has been keeping me busy this week...
having said that, im not sure if it's because i had just the one afternoon to go sightseeing around paris... but im not sure if paris was really a good fit to me.... for one, i definitely am not a fan of french cuisines.... im not a wine drinker.... and im not a artsy museum guy....
i know PSG played a champions league match while i was there, and would have loved to head out to that... but i didnt.....
i would have also loved to stay the weekend there to watch France vs Wallabies.... but the wallabies lost 33-6 or something... so it wouldnt have been fun....
the eiffel tower was as big as i thought it would be, and that was pretty cool....
well... im sure if i stay in this line of work, i will have many more chances to head out to paris... so maybe it'll grow on me... or i'll grow into it....
