The morning started with a very early 4:30am wake up call in order to get to the airport for the EPiServer Partner Summit in Sweden. Ouch! Very sleepy, but once we were there... wow!... what a city. Stockholm is simply gorgeous. We were lucky enough to land during beautiful weather and the city is filled with green and blue. I couldn't stop staring out the window. It reminded me so much of home.
The summit was being held in Saltsjöbaden which was outside of the central city and was originally built as a resort location. We stayed at the Grand Hotel, a large hotel right on the waterfront with lots of outdoor spots to enjoy the sun. Some of the EPiServer local guys had their boats moored at the jetty and we were all welcome onboard for a chat and a drink in the sun (which of course I took advantage of). Honestly nothing better than drinking champage on a fancy boat. Dad don't worry I took photos of the boats for you.
Turned out we all had to share rooms and I was sharing with a girl called Mari who worked for EPiServer Norway but we only had one bed in the room! It was all good in the end, a bit of a laugh.The afternoon was spent in conference and then we enjoyed dinner and a casino night at the hotel. I lasted 3 rounds of poker before I lost it all. I mean who wouldn't go all in on an ace, nine double pair?!
I met a lot of people on the first day including many from NetCel, a partner company in St Albans, which included Nick Urry who used to work for Intergen, Wellington and we also met up with Intergenite Wayne Forgesson who was over from NZ. It was great to see so many familiar faces, and it was fantastic to meet a lot of people I'd talked to in the EPiServer community but had never met.
