Things are going really well this week and we've been very busy! I had thought I'd be giving one presentation to 500 people. Turned out they wanted more effective/intimate group sizes so while the 500 people part hasn't changed, they've been arriving in groups of 10 over two days!
My rough daily schedule has been:
1:30am: find bed under pile of notes and cables having completed revision list of the day.
Horrible reality siren at 5:30am (alarm), doze (10 min), wake up in panic at the time, quick shower (10 min). Answer emails (30 min), review demo script and pack demo gear (15 min). Suit up (5 min), admire how dashing self looks in suit (10 min) while putting on stupid tricky cufflinks (5 min). Elevator ride from 30th floor (5 min due to commuter traffic), arrive at breakfast meeting 7am.
Review daily agenda and implement new last minute changes to suit audience segment of day (30 min), arrive at venue and set up gear (10 min).
Smile.
Give demo and presentation (10 min) to groups of 10 people, answer questions (5 min), repeat indefinitely until dinner break.
Note to self that I haven't gone to bathroom yet. Briefly excuse myself and enjoy 5 minutes of solitude.
Arrive at dinner meeting. Review day, take notes, chew, swallow, begin alterations to demo based on daily feedback.
Repeat.
All in all, I wouldn't have it any other way, this has been a lot of fun. You know I love an audience!
