So my team recently had a game and afterward we were hanging out with the other team and one of them just got back from Vegas. He had attended this convention for convenience stores, so it's like all the booths were for things that get sold in convenience stores. So there are representatives from soda and candy, but also booths for beer, cigarrettes, and porno mags. That just sounds like a weird surreal thing to go to.
Compare this with the convention that I went to last week, which is the Medical Design and Manufacturing conference (MDM). So like there was booth just on syringes and one on metal cases that form the outer shell for a pacemaker. Really boring stuff.
And really I didn't really do a good job of networking there, but I did get the directory for all of the people that showed up. So I'll be going through each company there and seeing if any are hiring. This is a big conference and so far, I've only made it through the A's. For all you job seekers out there, I would suggest that you do something like this, since you'll go through all of the postings on Monster, craigslist, etc. pretty quickly.
