Trade Show Travelog #5
Sands convention Center - Tue, 3 Dec 2024, 2:15pm

Day 2 at the AWS trade show is partly over. For me, though, the at-the-show part is completely over. In a few minutes I'll head to my hotel room to catch up on email, Slack, and other stuff for the rest of the day.

It'll be a different hotel than yesterday, though. This morning I checked out of the Embassy Suites and took my bag over to the Wynn.

The Wynn hotel in Vegas is classy and comfortable (Dec 2024)

It's a swank property and it's right on the Strip, across the street from the Sands. Primo location. But I haven't been to my room yet. I haven't even checked in. I just dropped my bag with the bell desk at 9:30 this morning and walked over to the show. Now I'll walk back, check in, and rest up in my room while catching up on work.

Today was a good day at the show. I dressed as Jenkins the Butler again.

Another costume remix as Jenkins the Butler (Dec 2024)

I remixed the butler's costume yet again. This time I kept the classic slate blue suit and white shirt and pocked square but swapped the bowtie for something matching the company's light purple. I got compliments from our marketing leaders... and lots of requests from conference-goers to take pictures with me. I enjoy it.

But now I'm about to head back for the day. I'm glad I can do this at 2pm instead of working the show floor all the way through to 6pm. This year my company's event leaders got organized and made a duty roster. And communicated to the whole team that they're expected to heed it. I've only been asking for that, unsuccessfully, for 6 years.
