I was at NEMICE today -- the New England Meetings Industry Conference & Exposition -- and picked up a lot of tasty bits from suppliers all over our region. People asked me what I did, and I told them "teach courses in meeting planning...and run SMERFs on a volunteer basis." Only one person didn't understand -- he was a guy from the tall ship company in town, who was clearly "not one of us" (where "us" were meeting planners and suppliers).
I explained...and he seemed relieved that we weren't blue.
