Started as a receptionist when the company was HA Bruno, a small company that started PC EXPO. They were acquired by Blenheim, then were acquired by Miller Freeman, then acquired by CMP. I went along with all those acquistions, until I finally was let go during one of their downsizings.

I thoroughly enjoyed putting together trade shows and watching them come together within 4 or 5 days and see your accomplishment right away. It was a lot of pressure at times but also a great adrenaline rush and great to travel and meet so many great people.
