Please mind the GAAP
As a privileged member of the accounting fraternity, TS is accustomed to rubbing shoulders with the big cheeses, but the recent AIM conference was more like a game of sardines at lunchtime.
After pushing the need for decent preparation, the organisers clearly had a few GAAPs in their own designs as attendees were left to jostle for a spot at one of the few circular tables provided.
There was a serious lack of goodwill as TS suffered the indignity of eating the slap-up lunch standing up because there was no seating provided either!
TS read between the lines and interpreted the situation as a cunning gambit by the event planners to spark some business combinations and get people talking, but stony faced delegates were more worried about getting the chicken stew all over themselves.
Maybe more thought should be given to the key intangibles like chair demand and table space next year.
