This past Saturday marked our 3rd Annual StarTechOne Team Conference. Our entire company (minus a few employees who held down the ship!), including our Canadian, U.S., and United Kingdom staff, gathered at the London (ON) Convention Center to discuss StarTech.com – more specifically, our goals, opportunities and successes, as one team.
This is always an event that I look forward to, because it’s been fun every year we’ve held the Conference…it’s never been as “dry” as the word “Conference” can imply, and this year was no exception. It’s a casual atmosphere and an excellent opportunity for everyone to have open discussions or ask questions about StarTech.com, so that we can all remain focused on working and playing as one team.
The Team One Conference has been facilitated for the last three years by Michael Canic, co-founder and principal of Edge Consulting Services, who always does a great job helping us to create meaningful discussion points that can help drive our company further.
The finale of the Conference is dedicated to nothing other than fun. Although the rest of the day is kept relaxed and enjoyable, the last portion of the day is completely detached from “work”.
This year, our focus on fun was led by Stewart Hall, whose "Rock the Stars" Corporate Team Building Activities found Paul and I along with nearly everyone in attendance taking turns at being rock stars (well, “mock” stars anyways)! StarTech.com's Battle of the Bands was a great way to end a fun and productive day, and resulted in more than a few great memories for all of us. (The picture shown right is a shot of Paul and I dressed as ZZ Top, rocking out to “Sharp Dressed Man”!)
