The 2010 NSA convention was a delicious smorgasbord of content, fun and performance. Whether you were looking for information on platform presence, finding your marketing niche or hard core business operating information, it was all there. For me, the best takeaway came during the Monday general session with the Masters. The morning opener was our own Joachim de Posada - he was terrific as were his marshmallows and grandson.
The opener following lunch was the fabulous and humorous Ruby Newell-Legner. When booked for that position she didn't realize she would be following a memorial tribute to the NSA members the industry lost this past year, not just lunch. She set the stage with a bit of humor by acknowledging her "emotional incontinence" to the tribute and those lost before beginning - brought the house down. She had further issues with her computer waking up - not realizing she had the wrong clicker. A stage hand brought her a new clicker - totally interrupting her train of thought again. Not to be shaken, in jest she said, take a step back, make a pirouette (which she did) and began again. The audience loved every minute of it. What a great example of professionalism and performance on how to handle anything that can go wrong.
