I'm just afraid of deposits and such.
I think if we plan early, figure out how many people are
actually going to show up, we'll have a better idea of what to plan for.
I think 9FI is a must, as Szluka kind of broke the mold with that -- Fuzzy memories of some Irish band talking about some "Vegas Rock Stars" and all that in front of an audience of hundreds and everyone raising a drink to the "Jetcareers Vegas Rock Stars" Damn, great memories.
Perhaps if we continually re-inforce that having a tighter number on how many people are actually going to show up makes for a better event and how many people are going to be there that are actually in positions to help you might help 'sell the event', if you know what I mean.
The last thing I want to do is throw a 'Kit Darby'-style event. However, I'm working on getting some of my 'contacts' out to the event to interface with fresh people who would do a good job as new hires at their respective operations.
There's going to be people that attendees
NEED to meet, but I want to keep it natural and 'organic' if that makes sense. I'd rather an attendee show someone that they're going to be a riot on a four-day trip rather than playing the "I'm a team player! I work well with others!" bullsh*t that we all claim on formal interviews.
It'll be a great time by default. It'll be a BETTER time if we can get people off their asses this year and commit to the event.
If you guys have input or ideas, throw 'em at us. So far, we're the only group on the internet doing something like this on an annual basis.
Man, I can almost remember finding Kelly on the Vegas strip reeking of beer and hot dog nitrate at 5am a few minutes before Max fell asleep!
Memories memories! Any the the Lloyd dance, and the freeking amazing show by Bumblebee doing "Satchmo"? Holy friggen cow!
