May 2013 – USA and CSIA Conference

May 2013 sees Nick back in the United States to speak with Vistage groups around the country. He was also very pleased to be invited to give the key not address at the Control System Integrators Association (CSIA) Conference in St Petersberg FL. This was a huge international event and Nick was also able to catch up with a client from his home town of Adelaide – I believe there may have been much celebrating after the conference 🙂

This month:

Columbus OH (or C-Bus) which has not only been voted the #3 ‘Happiest City in the Country’, but apparently it is also the most ‘Intelligent City in the County’ (#7 in the world)!

Denver CO (The Mile High City) where golf balls travel 10% farther than they do at sea level and the first permanent structure to be built in Denver was a saloon!

San Jose CA The city was founded in the year 1777 and is considered to be California’s oldest civilian settlement.  San Jose was also the state’s capital (before Sacramento).

Memphis TN where the World Champion BBQ Cooking contest is held each year – in May but unfortunately Nick didn’t get to be there for this 🙁

Honolulu HI  which is the only city in the United States that is home to a royal palace. After finishing all his business appointments, Nick’s family flew over from Australia and met him here for a family vacation.
