Tech Field Day Hometown gift exchange: a delegate experience.

As you may guess, I was lucky enough to be selected as a Tech Field Day Delegate recently and being my first TFD I wasn’t sure what to expect from it, but let me tell you: it’s definitely the best way to hear and know about Enterprise IT products, there’s no Kool-Aid involved and you get to talk with top notch people.

A new thing for Tech Field Day was the hometown gift exchange that took place the night before starting the visits.

All the delegates were requested to bring something for each delegate from home that could represent their hometown and who they are, to better know each other and to break the ice with the other delegates, an awesome idea if you ask me!

Everybody brought something from their own homeland: we got candies, cards, bottle openers, books, shot glasses, coasters, everything has been awesome but not for the gift itself, but for the story behind it, and the story behind every delegate as everyone was brought up to talk about himself and distribute the gifts.

So if you’ve been selected as a Tech Field Day delegate and you’re reading this because you don’t know what to bring here’s a three-tip list for you:

1. Bring something for every delegate (or make sure that everyone could share what you brought).
2. Don’t spend too much on it (I spent approximately 9$/each).
3. Bring something that represents where you’re coming from or that has a meaning to you.

I would like to thank again Stephen and Matt for letting me be part of this, it’s been an awesome experience.
