The Whitelist

So yeah, these industry events are SO BORING…  (no-one believes me anymore, sigh).  Great fun tonight, gambling/drinking/racketeering/extorting.  Just another tough night at the office.  I got to hang with some of the brain trust at SP, Kyle Truax (VP ProServ’s), Clara Hoban (VP Support Svcs), and Jeff Newlin (SVP Global Sales and Svcs).  Cool 20’s-themed SpeakEasy let everyone blow off some steam after a VERY full day.  I bailed before the place got raided.

Met many more marketing folks since the last post and had a chance to chat with a few of them…  Kirk Elliott of MMS (medical marketing service) is a 6 yr customer of SP and he’s here for his first Summit.  He ended up doing pretty well at the BlackJack table when I left (I think he picked my pocket).  He’s here to get a handle on reporting and metrics (so I’m expecting to see you in my session bright and early tomorrow Kirk!)

Lisa Finfer (glasses down) and Clara Hoban (glasses up) take a break from the gambling to plot and scheme their next bootleg run…  Who says crime can’t be fun?  Lisa did me a solid earlier by sharing her clients with me (she’s the Director of Client Services at SP) when I went to interview the Brad-Barry Gang on an earlier blog entry.

Another scofflaw at the SpeakEasy was David Azulay of kern (he’s presenting tomorrow too – pictured below), he flew out for the Summit from SoCal.  He manages strategy and account services for their B2B clients, and his session is one I’m not going to miss – Best Practices in Closed-Loop Demand Gen & Lead Management.
