My Boss, Lady Son came to confirmed with me yesterday afternoon, ensured that I was received the meeting invite correctly and I will attend the meeting.
This is another exciting experience for me, it could probably a first national wide corporation meeting since I joined this group. In the old days, they didn't really care if there is need for a contractor to attend such an event.
The afternoon session should be begin at 1:00 PM. My super nice co-worker, Sandy waited for me to finally get out of office, about almost 12:20 PM. She drove all the way before me, so that she ensures I will not lost on the way to the event. I thought we must late, at least we already missed the lunch for the meeting. Well, lucky enough, the lunch was delayed till 12:45 PM. So we had a good lunch right before the meeting.
The conference room was host by Hilton Hotel, big enough to contain about 200 people. First impress was the company logo on two big screens. Then we went direct to the presentations. Not very impressive for first three presenters, the content is probably trimmed before going to public, so they were plain and comment. Until I saw the presentation from dealer net work developer team, they really did a good job in digging the root causes and showed a very impressive visualized data.
If you ask me what is my impression about this meeting as a root level employee, I would probably tell you that I have little disappointment about our marketing team, the data analysis or the facts that I expect to learn from them, actually did not happen.
In general, what a good experience for me!
