My First Congress

My place of work gave me the opportunity of attending my very first Congress at the end of August.  Imagine my surprise when I received the e-mail of confirmation.

A colleague was busy putting together a poster on a Bluetooth exercise he did at one of the Universities.  As the information he gathered was lacking, he asked me to add some of the information I had on my companies Facebook and Twitter sites.  I included the information and to my surprise he added me as co-author of the poster. 

It was one of the greatest feelings ever.  I am 23 years old and I have the opportunity of doing a poster at a Congress.  Although my Manager highlighted to the committee that the poster should have been a presentation, her suggestion was turned down.  Even this could not bring the excitement down, as I will still be “visible” at the Congress.

It just goes to show that with hard work, good ideas and good relationships you will get rewarded in some way or the other.
