Recap + Refreshed
By Brent Dixon on October 08, 2007
Last week was incredible and surreal. The Symposium brought with it droves of insightful sessions, great conversations, and deep belly-laughs. Click here to check out photos from the conference. We can’t say thank you enough to the speakers, to all of you who came out, and especially to FORUM Solutions – Kristi Lowell and Doug True especially – for making it happen.
To quote Trey: “This was the best week I’ve ever had at Trabian.”
We will be releasing the sessions as podcasts on Open Source CU starting (Update 10/12) later this week next week (we’re still waiting to hear “okays” back from some of the speakers).
After the fact
Friday was a refreshing day for all of us at Trabian. We were able – for the first time since doubling in size – to have a pow-wow with the entire team in person. It was a perfect reset button for all of us: We realigned with core values, voiced and addressed frustrations, reinforced individual roles, and were reminded why we love what we do so much. And all in one afternoon.
We also agreed that we really need more flesh & blood time – both as a full company and with clients as we work together on projects.
I’m heading home to Dallas today. Matt, Kelly and Trey just dropped me off at the Indianapolis airport. We aren’t sure when we’ll all be under the same roof again, but hopefully it won’t be long.

It was great to meet and work with all of you during the Symposium. Your passion for the CU movement and its members is refreshing and humbling. Thanks for some great memories. I look forward to many more.

Thanks so much, Andy. We had the time of our lives. And you did an awesome job MCing the event.
Don’t tell FORUM I said this, but you should consider a career as “The Talent.”
