In Nashville, you see them power walking the entire Gaylord grounds

You had to plan for 30-40 minutes each morning to find the different meeting and conference rooms scattered all over the place. By the time one of our 60 minutes workshops ended, 10-15 people were just showing up for it. For me and my friends I worked with it was a blast, but our company’s front office was going nuts. I remember a week when it was over, they sent all us district sales managers videos of all the different meetings and workshops that they recorded to ensure we got all the information before we set up all our stores for the holiday season. :-)

I went to the Winter Meetings in 06 I think it was… for work a few years back and you’d be walking around and just see people chatting in random places.

That hotel if you wander off too far and have somewhere to be, you’ll likely be late because you can get so lost there.

When it’s in Orlando, you only see people during “Break times” or “after hours” because everything was so confined.

Nashville is where I had a personal drinking experience with a former WS Champ that changed my perspective on ballplayers dramatically.

The winter meetings are a fascinating thing to see from the inside. You’d be at a promo show and everybody would have “the scoop” of who talked to who before it’d hit the general public.

It’s a lot of fun and I suggest Joe that you get yourself to one someday soon. Especially with media creds
