Sometimes you don’t realize the value of something until you get a little distance from it.
That WASN’T the case for me at this year’s Fordyce Forum 2010 at the M Resort in Las Vegas from June 9-11. It was another great conference, and was just the shot in the arm I needed after a few months away from my desk and my businesses.

It had been a year since I was able to travel, in fact my last trip anywhere was to Las Vegas for Fordyce Forum 2009, which was also at the M Resort in Las Vegas almost exactly a year before.
