Convergence 2010 in Atlanta

So we lost, but it was close 10-9 I believe - no thanks to me. I went 0 for 4 at bats, I had no good plays in the outfield and my only shot at something good was the RBI, thank goodness my husband can run really, really fast. By the way, he played very well.

So lets talk about my trip to Atlanta, shall we. Most of the trip was spent at the convention center sitting in on sessions about CRM & SharePoint. The center was huge but the event was well staffed with happy people willing to answer questions and guide you to wherever you needed to go. Southern hospitality was all around. The weather was chillier than to be expected but the skies were beautiful.


The center is located right across from Philips Arena. We didn't have a chance for a tour, but it was pretty cool to walk by it every day.

The theme behind the conference is displayed by this photos here, "Today, Tomorrow, Together."


The Sunday morning session started with a lots of energy, why wouldn't you be excited for today, tomorrow and together?


Microsoft even brought in Sean Payton from the Super Bowl Champions, the New Orleans Saints to open up the day.

Along with attending many great sessions about CRM & SharePoint, there were lots of exhibits to walk through, some of which even gave away some shwag or flair. My boss filled himself up!

Our hotel wasn't too far away. However, we were greatful for the shuttle service. Outside of our hotel most of the weekend you could find this little beauty. A Tesla, you can see it plugged into a power cord here:


After seeing our room keys, we should have known that the entire city was going to be decked out with Microsoft branding:

Along with all the sessions, we did get to spend sometime sight seeing and networking with one of our vendors. I have lots of photos from the World's largest Aquarium and Coca-Cola world coming tomorrow!
