Some thoughts fresh off my visit to the BICSI Winter Conference, which was held February 9-13 in BICSI's hometown of Tampa, FL ... More than anything else, I was grateful to be there-probably even more than usual. It is a pleasure and honor to meet in person your peers (and you as well, if I was lucky enough to do so), who make this industry run. I come away from each such encounter with a strong sense of gratitude. This time around, that gratitude was amplified simply because we all had the opportunity to get together. The BICSI Winter Conference was held the same week that the organizers of Mobile World Congress decided to cancel their 2020 event out of an abundance of caution surrounding COVID-19, the Coronavirus. My understanding is that only three exhibitors who had planned to be at BICSI did not attend. All three are based in Asia and reworked their plans to be at the association's Fall Conference in late September.
