In this and the following posts, I’ll give you a small report on PowerPoint Live in San Diego, where I am now at the DoubleTree Mission Valley hotel.
I took the Amtrak from Irvine in Orange County to San Diego: a wonderful journey in itself with spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean from the window seat of the Business Class coach. A taxi from the San Diego Amtrak station got me to the hotel, The taxi driver was from Eritrea, but he was more conversant with Bollywood and Hindi movies than I am, which is surprising, since I’m from India.
In the hotel, it’s great to see familiar faces, and new ones. The Help Center is all set up, the registration desk is done, and Rick Altman, the conference host seems happy, and absolutely ready for Day 1 on Sunday.
More about PowerPoint Live in subsequent posts.
