Roche Social Media Summit

The lack of posts from yours truly last week was due to the Roche Social Media Summit I was attending.

I am not a fan of reinventing the wheel and here is a good chance for you to check out some of the awesome people I met. So here are some great posts about the social media summit (And a fun one too!) Go read, look at pictures (I took some with my iPhone but they look awful), and then come back and read my take.

What I loved:

• Meeting all these wonderful people that I had only dreamed of meeting.
• Seeing those that I have met before and whom I missed dearly.
• Roche for extending a hand to us and keeping good on their promise of not “being a commercial.”
• Seeing how test strips are made.
• Feeling so powerful among my blogging brothers and sisters.
• Knowing that we do make a difference and trying to figure out how we can work together better.
• People shouting “GEORGE!” when I walked in at dinner. (I get surprised that people are excited to see me. It is usually the other way around.)
• When the Roche exec asked me, “so what’s up with these people shouting your name when you walked in!” LOL
• Lots of Diet Soda and Bacon at breakfast.
• Laughing and Crying with people I love.
• Hugs.

What I did not like:

• Missing Sara.
• Almost missing my flight home.
• Not having enough time with my friends.
• When the Roche exec asked me, “So you call yourself a ‘Ninja.’ What exactly does that mean?” LOL
• Tim.
• Sitting on the plane home, alone in my thoughts, and wiping away tears that I could not stop for the life of me.

One thing you should know is that Diet Coke in Indiana sometimes comes with a surprise!

Look for more on the summit later this week.
