IFAI Convention

Day 2:

The golf outting was a lot of fun. Our team (me, my dad, Mike from Snyder, Linc from Versaidag) finished 3 under par. We had a blast and most importantly, we were able to get out and golf for the first time in about 3 months.

Following the golf outting, members got together for a meet and greet. It was a great opportunity to introduce ourselves to new members and to catch up with old friends. The event was held at the Tiki bar on the premises of the Tradewinds Hotel and Resort. Pretty intimate location and a great spot for the networking event.  At the meet and greet they handed out the awards for the golf tournament. I was disappointed that we didn't win (the winning team was 11 under par), but I was thrilled that we weren't awarded the last place consolation prize either.

The day was capped off by a nice dinner and conversation with friends, both new and old.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow where the exhibition tents will be set up in the parking lot in front of the resort. A pretty heavy storm is supposed to blow through the area. It will be interesting to see which companies feel confidently enough about their products to leave them up in the high winds.

The storm that you mention was incredible . . . gale force winds pushing the palm trees horizontal. And the tents stood up to the test without a problem.

Unreal! It was fun to watch from the hotel room. I was impressed that all of the vendors left their tents up. Shows they really had confidence in their products!
