Going Up?

Let’s talk a bit about one of everyone’s favorite — if that’s the word — top­ics at EDS: Ele­va­tors. Or more specif­i­cal­ly, wait­ing for ele­va­tors.

Don’t get us wrong, the Mirage is an absolute­ly won­der­ful place to hold the Sum­mit. But with over 4,000 atten­dees head­ing up and down all day for meals, meet­ings, indus­try events and what have you, some­times the ele­va­tors can get a lit­tle… tight. 

“The ele­va­tors can be a chal­lenge,” agrees Woody Wilder, vice pres­i­dent of sales, Mura­ta Amer­i­c­as.​“My best advice is not be in the main area” when stay­ing at the Mirage.

“Maybe lose a few pounds before you go,” jokes Scott Kennedy, vice pres­i­dent of Logix sales and marketing.

Jeff May, pres­i­dent of Logix sales and mar­ket­ing, advis­es plan­ning your sched­ule with ele­va­tors in mind.​“Leave a lit­tle ear­li­er,” he sug­gests. And if you can’t?​“Be pre­pared to wig­gle your way through.”
