Night at the Museum: A real “blast”

First off: great job to the Event team for planning such a great event and to Symantec for sponsoring it. The entire conference has been an extremely well-planned and well-executed affair and this event continued that trend.

Let’s break it down:

Are you from Florida? Are you going to Sage Summit? Check this out.

This is pretty cool. My friend, Chad, just pointed out to me that Florida is the only state of the union to have their own embassy in Washington, DC. The Florida House is centrally located on Capitol Hill with the intention to serve Floridians visiting the nation’s capitol.

If you’re from Florida and looking for a place to grab a computer or looking for some information on things to do you can check out The Florida House. They also have fresh squeezed orange juice.

Sage Summit Night At The Museum: Bus Boarding 101

Concerned about how you’re going to get to the Sage Summit Night At The Museum event on Tuesday July 13, 2011?

Me neither – but seeing as Sage needs to move 4,000 people from the Gaylord National to the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum they’ve devised an innovative and unique method to shuttle people.

The idea? Wait for it ….

Board alphabetically by company name (Sage Employees and Partners can board at any time).

Special thanks to the 80 member Sage committee who worked seven months, sat through 15 WebEx conference calls, had 3 on-site meetings and 2 focus groups in order to devise this procedure.

Full details below.

Free (Well, Almost Free) Washington Monument Tours

I just got this tip from my wife. If you are going to Summit and would like to take the tour of the Washington Monument, the tickets are free for tours running every thirty minutes. However, during the peak season (now) they almost never have tickets available.

Most of the time the tickets have all been reserved three months in advance. You can make reservations for the Washington Monument tour. However, we’ve discovered they have tickets available the Thursday of Summit. If you reserve tickets in advance, they are $1.50 per ticket and you can get them mailed to you if you order them soon enough (for a nominal fee) or pick them up from the will call window.

If you’re interested, make your reservation today.
