December 2nd I flew to Montevideo. I stayed at the Radisson Hotel, Plaza de la Independencia. Very conveniently located with some impressive views from the top floor. Good thing it had a pool, because it is not easy to keep my exercise regime when traveling so much.
Besides very productive meetings with IBM (very nice, professional, and friendly executives, by the way) and presentation to several hospital groups (one of the meetings at the Presidential Building, another one at the country`s largest hospital, and a presentation at the Solis Theater), I enjoyed the promenade by the river which seems like a sea, the old town, and a weird Ice Bar.
November 27th I flew to Boston, and back to NY in the same day, for a couple of important business meetings (Massachusetts General Hospital, and a Law Firm) with Ken and Laura, with whom I had lunch in a restaurant located inside a hotel that was formerly a prison.
November 28th I flew to Chicago for the RSNA trade show.
I stayed at the very nice Public Hotel, attended the crazy big RSNA show, had dinner at Petterino‘s with Brazilian friends, and flew back to NY.
Of course in Valencia I enjoyed friends, family… and tons of work meetings!
The last week of my November trip to Spain, I went to Malaga for the MIT Technology Review Emtech Investors Forum event.
It was very sad and unfortunate that the mayor of Malaga did not listen to the organizers of the event, and stubbornly forced the event to be inaugurated November 22nd “becuase it was more convenient for him”. Since the main interest of the event were the US investors, they did not come because it was Thanksgiving.
A week after the ESADE course, and after visiting friends and family in Valencia, I went to Palma de Mallorca for HIMSS, a healthcare IT industry event.
I have fallen very behind on my posts. I tweet and Google+ some tidbits here and there, but it has been forever since I posted. So, I`ll try to catch up.
In mid November, I was in Barcelona for the “Global Sales Strategy for Ambitious European Firms” Program (who chooses those names?). Classes, by Kenneth P. Morse took part in ESADE Business School (Executive Education).
Two intense days of learning, thinking, debating, and networking.
Today Juan gave me a great compliment, for which I am grateful:
You embody the saying “Fall down 7 times, get up 8”
