The CK Daily – Networking at the Beach
Good Morning & Happy Tuesday! Hope everyone is off to a great start this week!
I’m writing today’s CK Daily from Clearwater, Florida as I’m down here for a conference. I had never been to Clearwater before, but I’m very much enjoying it! The beaches are beautiful, the weather has been fantastic, and the food has been delicious!
The conference has been wonderful so far as well! We’ve had some great conversations and met some really nice people. Yesterday was fairly laid back with lots of networking time, but today we have a packed schedule with sessions that should be informative, so I’m looking forward to that! It’s always nice to get together with others in the industry to learn and build relationships.
Looking forward to a great second day here!
