I only went because several colleagues who'd been before said how great it was. To be honest, I usually get bored at these events. Instead of just listening to someone talking, I'd rather be doing something. But as everyone had recommended it, I had high hopes it'd be good, and I wasn't disappointed. I found the speaker really entertaining. The thing was, he couldn't cover everything. They should have allowed a full day. I know you're supposed to pick up lots of new ideas at these seminars and I suppose it was useful.I did get a few ideas, which is just as well because now I've got to give a talk to staff on the same topic. What I was actually hoping for, though, was to be able to make the most of the opportunity in other ways, too. As some of the other participants I networked with may well become major clients, I'd definitely go again. The seminar was held in a really smart hotel. I did wonder how much my company was having to pay for me to attend. I hope they think it was worth sending me along. I tried to take lots of notes just in case my manager asked me to write a report about it afterwards. I must admit, though, I didn't write much because although the speaker was highly entertaining, I couldn't exactly say I learnt anything new. Shame, really.
