Ever wonder what happens when your ENTIRE demo booth gets shipped to the wrong state? When I arrived at #NYCGenAILiveLabs this past week, I discovered my diligently planned setup was somewhere else entirely (which totally caught me off guard 🤯 )! 📌 My options: 1. Panic 2. Cancel 3. Get creative -> 🫡 ⏰ Within hours, I: - Convinced an Uber driver to take me to Jersey City to buy a 75" TV (barely fit in the UberXL) 🚕 - Commandeered tables, apple boxes, and equipment around the venue to build a premier booth. 🛠️ - Recruited my amazing colleague Nicole DeSantis to facilitate attendees' registration. But how did it go? We had over 150 attendees dive into the demo experience, with many returning for multiple sessions! The hardest part? Finding someone to buy a TV bigger than me afterward! 🤣 #Gemini #GenAI #GoogleCloud #GCP #LLM #NYC #NYCGenAILiveLabs
Love the quick thinking! Great job Zach!
Amazing job!! Love the solution 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Love this Zach! Such an awesome demo and you always do a great job of showcasing the tech and inspiring attendees to think differently. 🚀
It was a joy to work the demo with you, Zach! Your positive attitude kept the energy high all day
We did the TV thing for TN. Ended up returning it after the show. Well done
Zach, should have told me. I have all of the back up equipment for your demo. But knowing you it was awesome without all of the extra stuff
That is amazing, way to pivot and be flexible!!!
And you crushed it!! Love this.
Wow, that’s an incredible story Zach. I had no idea, you pulled it off like an ace!
