Be honest. Do you keep every badge from every eCommerce event you've ever been to?
I do. I have no idea why.
They hang from all my running trophies and family crafts. Right across from my desk.
Amazon Accelerate, Amazon unBoxed, Prosper Show, CoCreate, CES. Lanyards tangled together like old headphones.
I will never wear them again. I will never need them again. And I still can't throw them out.
(Well I finally did today and there were years worth!)
But the badge isn't the point. Something lives on in those badges.
The first time at an expo, that meal with a new friend, the first time on stage at an event.
It's just so real. When I first started my own agency, the pride I had to represent my business at each event was so immense.
Nowadays, I go to more shows and I can't keep all these anymore. It's actually ridiculous. But dang it all, if there aren't amazing memories at these shows.
Here's to many more.
