Heading to the ERE Expo 2009 Conference
Our new manager of e-learning, Paul Bell, and I are traveling today to San Diego for the ERE Expo 2009 recruiting conference. I've attended their excellent conferences before but this will be the first year that CollegeRecruiter.com will have a booth.
I'm really looking forward to the conference, for a number of reasons:
- We're scheduled to get some snow starting this evening here in Minneapolis and I've had more than enough of this brutally long and cold winter. I moved here 20 years ago from Winnipeg for the weather. As odd as moving to Minneapolis for the weather sounds to most, those of us who have lived in Winnipeg and Minneapolis understand that as harsh as the winters can be in Minneapolis, they're much worse in Winnipeg.
- There are a number of clients and potential clients who are attending the ERE conference so it will be a good chance to connect with them face-to-face. As great as email, instant messaging, phones, etc. can be, nothing substitutes for the ability to have an in-person conversation.
- It will be a real treat to finally meet Paul. He and I first connected about a month ago and he just completed his second week with CollegeRecruiter.com. We've traded hundreds of emails and talked dozens of times, yet we've never really met.
- Did I mention the weather?
