RSDC Partner day and VoiCE

Posted to Work category
Yesterday was a busy day. We left the condos at 7am, Beth and a consultant went to the Business Partner Meeting and another consultant and I went to VoiCE sessions.

For the most part I stayed in the VoiCE session, but I snuck out twice and popped into the Partner meeting. The VoiCE sessions were very interesting, and we learned they do a 2 day VoiCE meeting each November in Boston. Not sure who I'm going to send for that, Elyse comes to mind but she doesn't like Boston.

The Business Partner reception was on Sunday night for some reason, didn't make any sense, but it was packed and very well done. It started at 5 and went to 6:30, the main reception was in the other hotel and started at 6:00.

After many drinks at the first one we meandered our way to the main reception which was also very well done. It had a kinda super hero theme, more like a super hero's secret identity theme, with actors walking around dressed as comic chars, "Release Manager" "The Developer" and other silly things. I don't think the majority of attendees got or cared about the theme.

One of the spot lights on the main stage projected the phrase "R-TEAM" So we took pictures of Beth standing under it. Not sure if IBM knew they were kinda promoting us :)

Got back to the condo's around 9ish, couple of us drank beers on the back porch, at 10 we got a show of the Sea World fireworks, kinda, lots of trees in the way, I think if we went down to the boat dock we'd have a good view of them, maybe will try that tomorrow night.

No idea what VoiCE is, but 2 days in Boston would be tolerable if I can stay away from North Quincy. Maybe stretch the trip a day or two and make a quick guilt trip to see my relatives in CT.

VoiCE is what used to be called CAB (Customer Advisory Board), a place where under NDA you get to hear about futures and you get to bitch (um, give feedback) on current versions.

It would be in Wakefield.
