Not Your Daddy’s TSEA
Keith Reznick
My mentor/sponsor Jim Wurm (now Executive Director EACA) guided me through my first TS2 some twenty years ago. As Jim and I caught up with each other at TS2 last week, we were struck by how dramatically some things have changed while others have stayed relatively the same. Jim and I met when our kids were in day care – all but the youngest have graduated college. Our friendship, though,...

I had decided way in advance that I was going to make the most of my time in Boston, looking for AHA moments at every turn...

Inside Boston's brand new facility, BCEC (Boston Convention and Exhibition Center), where the New England Chapter of TSEA held its kick-off meeting, the aisles at TS2 are brimming with people just out of classes and ready to learn more about the industry from exhibitors at the show.

Reflections on TS2
Jose Sancen
Boston in July? For a trade show? What time? What do you do again? This was the reaction from a friend when I asked for a ride to the airport. But I ended up driving myself. It seems that some friendships don’t extend between midnight and ten in the morning.
If you’re a baseball fan, a chance to visit Fenway and the Red Sox would suffice or, if you’re...
