Great hotel? Check. Good food? Check. Wifi in the conference rooms? Check. Green tea available at the breaks? Check. M&M’s in the press room? Check. Oh yeah, the conference content is good, too. 🙂
I have to admit, I didn’t pay a lot of attention during Dr. Mathias Kirchmer’s last presentation of the day on “open BPM”: I’ve been in meetings since 7am, and I was pretty much conferenced out by the time that I finished my interview with Trevor Naidoo. Kirchmer finished his talk with the IDS Scheer annual BPE Verve awards for their customers and one partner:
- Estée Lauder for Business Process Strategy
- Atlantic Methanol Production Company for Business Process Implementation
- Molson Coors Brewing Company for Business Process Lifecycle
- PMOLink for Business Process Partnership
I’m really enjoying my time here, as I do at most user conferences. I’m meeting a ton of new people: other press and analysts whose names I know but have never met face-to-face, IDS Scheer customers, as well as the IDS Scheer folks themselves. I have to give a big shout out to the people at Springboard PR, especially Mark Tordik who has been my main liaison, for helping to make this happen.
The theme party tonight is Havana Nights, which promises a Cuban buffet, mojitos, casino tables, mojitos, a Latin band, and mojitos. Can you tell where my mind goes at the end of a long day?
