Before we jump into the Day 2 Wrap-up — a few highlights from Thursday afternoon. Attendees enjoyed doing the following activities:
- Golf at Audobon Park
- A private Culinary Experience with Dominique
- The “History, Highlights, Hope” Tour of New Orleans
- Braving the Bayou
We all reconvened at the Roosevelt for a terrific (and authentic) Mardi Gras Float down to Tipitinas. Here is a quick picture, links to more on our Facebook Page and we’ll be posting videos of this shortly.
So, Friday morning we were treated to another smorgasbord of insight and stimulation. Like the previous post, we think a picture tells a thousand words, so we’ve captured the highlights in graphic form. Many thanks again to Heather Willems at ImageThink, and especially to Jonathan Bell and the team at Ogilvy PR for the original introduction to ImageThink back at SXSW.
