Road Trip to Tampa – Sharks v. Lightning

// November 2nd, 2008 // No Comments » // Blog

The day before the Learning 2008 conference I attended in Orlando, I actually flew into Tampa with my coworker John Matuk to see the Sharks play the Tampa Bay Lightning.

It was a great game with the Sharks winning 3-0. It was cool to see the Tampa fans welcome back Dan Boyle. It also was plain to see that the Tank is a much better hockey venue and San Jose has much better and louder fans!

Learning 2008

Just got back from Elliot Masie’s Learning 2008 in Orlando, FL. It is a conference designed by and for learning implementers. It was a real learning experience (obvious – no pun intended).

Some of the highlights for me were the Q&A session with Kevin Kelly of Wired Magazine fame, chatting with Elliot Masie in a small group format when he briefly attended our wrap-up lunch, being a “changer” on our NASCAR pit crew (and getting 8th place overall at the conference), and a great session on Performance Support.

Corporate training is a field that has a ton of potential to be unleashed through the use of technology and it was great to see so many different organizations doing so many new and unique things.
