Greetings from IECSC

Greetings from the American Express Open Lounge on the show floor. I don't mean for this blog entry to be a plug for Amex, but this is a great idea. If you are a card holder, you get admission. If you sign up for a card, you get in as well. Complimentary beverages, refreshments (a yummy vegetarian sandwich) comfy furnishings, wifi, recharging station for laptops and cell phones. Even laptop lap desks.  There's nice low key schmingling among the visitors or the opportunity to chill. Anything that keeps us refreshed is a welcome addition to IECSC.

And this is the first trade show they've tried the concept at--so we spa folk should be proud that they started with us. We deserve it!
