The great thing about these professional conferences is the people you meet and the things be presented, but more so the people. However, at times it can be a bit depressing. A lot of people have a lot to show for themselves, and some have not. I'm in the lower bracket. Though, I felt I have gone a long way since last year, I'm wondering if I'm capable of breaking into the industry in say the next 5 years or so. I'm hoping this year I build up my portfolio/demo reel for next year's job fair.
Meeting David Chung from Morningstar kind of gave me the motivation for moving out West, he made it seem like it wasn't a huge transition; I hope not. I've always made a few possible networking possibilities in the West coast as well.
New Orleans is a great place to visit. Despite the muggy and bi-polar weather is a walking city, which I like about it. Is not too commercialized either, the scene is very local which I like a lot. Of course there is Bourbon street, rather you're a saint or a sinner you must have walked down there out of curiosity.
However, one thing I didn't like about the whole experience was one room mate, who was such a downer; he was the youngest of all of us. Even the oldest guy in the room was a child at heart. I see a bit of the old me in him, but I don't know how I changed so much in the last couple of years. I did however gave him a whole bunch of sarcastic criticism. I hope that helps.
