If you have ever read this blog before, then you probably know that I have a penchant for top-ten lists. But what you definitely don’t know about me until now is that I have the ability to predict the future. More like a gift I guess. So for any of the 40,000 souls heading to HIMSS that might be reading this, consider this a public service announcement:
The Top Ten Things That Will Happen to You During HIMSS (in no particular order)
10 – your activity monitor of choice will blow up on your 56,787th step
9 – every vendor salesperson will look you in the chest and either scorn you or flirt with you
8 – you will come home with pens (that break) and waterbottles (that your children steal from you)
7—you will question why HIMSS still provides attendees with black canvas computer bags (besides the pens and waterbottles)
6 – you will stand in line for 25 minutes dying for a coffee that will cost you $7.85
5 – you will consider playing slots at the airport
4 – you will be enlightened by 1,950 technologies that all improve care and make providers happy
3 – you will pretend that you don’t see/know at least 15 LinkedIn connections
2 – you will Google ‘sensory deprivation therapy locations’ when you get home
1 – you won’t get home because your flight to the east coast will be cancelled by a nor’easter
Seriously though, if you are headed out to Vegas, enjoy yourself, make some connections and even learn a little bit. And stop by our booth #10812 to check out what we offer.
