At the Summit: The Agile Process of Bringing the Rough Drafts to Atlanta, Part 3

Fast forward to Monday morning at the Summit. After a couple of awesome educational sessions, it's time for the plan to come together. The Centennial Ballroom is already hopping with wonderful roadies in black, hauling instruments in black cases, black amplifiers, and more boxes (black) full of cables, music stands, stomp boxes, and tuners.

It took a little while to get all set up and in the remaining time, we had a brief rehearsal of the scariest songs. Beginnings. Endings. Q&A. Save some for the party.

You already know how this sprint went. Betsy Maaks and Rhyne Armstrong coordinate jammers and karaoke requests. The president sings with past presidents. The band plays. The highlight of the evening for me was when we had no fewer than 20 of us on stage all at one time, including the conga line.

Dancing!

Many thanks to all the folks who helped put the 60th Anniversary Celebration Party together. If I didn't mention you, it's not because your efforts went unnoticed, it's because I'm still hungover and sleep deprived from the week. You rocked the Summit. You rocked my socks off. You rocked the whole #TechComm world. The Party sprint was the best sprint of all.
