A blinding light in the Nevada desert

I shot this at 12:35 a.m., but thanks to the magic of time zones and sub-supersonic travel, my brain thought it was 3:35. So of course the thing to do was shoot photos off the balcony. Because, you know, priorities.

Actually, I shot this because of community. I'm here this week to participate in our company's biggest ever conference. It's called Info-Tech LIVE (follow the #itrg and #infotechlive hashtags for more) and it promises to be packed with incalculable amounts of learning, connecting, and inspiration. Many hundreds of our members are coming in from all around the continent - and even the world - and I can't wait for our team to a) showcase the brilliance that is Info-Tech, and b) learn from our community's brilliance, in return.

As my colleagues have arrived here through the weekend, they've all been sharing their own first views of this frenetic town. We're here to work, not play, but there's something incredibly inspiring about a like-minded group of dedicated professionals who routinely share moments from the road. It might seem like a small thing to an outsider, but it's yet another example of why I love what I do, and where I do it.

It's going to be a wild and memorable week, and I hope you can join us along the way.
