Great sessions, but the best came from discussions with other CI practitioners. Major Lesson Learned: Wargaming Workshop with Ben Gilad was excellent. Looking at the Energy Drink Industry. It was probably not a good idea to distribute energy drinks to sample to a room full of type "A" individuals fueled by an over energetic Ben. Ben started off the afternoon session with "Okay this is where you really challenge the strategies--really go after their thinking". Many took that to heart. …

<p>Tak - and make sure Martha knows this - if SCIP 2012 is in Baltimore, a short ride from DC, Competitive Futures will sponsor the most bad-assed salsa band any of you have every heard, a galaxy of all-stars from one of the best Latin music scenes in the world.</p>

<p>My takeaways:</p>
<ol>
<li>I don't like being in a suit when its 97 degrees and 99% humidity.</li>
<li>Mickey ears: Not enough of them! Do you hear me, SCIP? That should have been standard in the gift bag at the beginning of the conference. A "SC" on one ear, a "IP" on the other - it would have been major brand recognition!</li>
