Not Your Last Resort

Okay, okay, let's tackle this one.  You're telling your boss that you'd like to attend Conversations.  You tell him about all the Nuance product managers you'll get to meet, how you're excited about some of the technology and business breakout sessions, how you've got a private meeting with some Nuance execs, and how you're looking forward to the industry forum so you can compare notes with some of your counterparts...  and your boss takes one look at the site and says, wait, you're going away for three days to spend time at a resort in Florida?

 

Tell your boss: damn straight!

 

The truth is, no successful conference can be all work and no play -- your brain would turn to mush if you spent the entire time filling up on breakout sessions.  You know that, and we know that, and unless he's got a particular management style, your boss knows that too.  That's why we've gone to great lengths to once again choose a fantastic resort location for this year's Conversations.  Even better, we've planned several flavors of events for Tuesday afternoon -- our event organizers, I'm told, have even gone through the *arduous task* of trying out several of the activities themselves.  And hey -- you don't even have to be a golfer to enjoy them all.

 

I guess what I'm saying is, don't be afraid to enjoy yourself while you're learning how to save your company millions of dollars.
