I've just returned from Utah, where I attended CompHealth's Symposium in Park City at the Canyons Resort. The sessions were fantastic and the attendees had so many unique experiences I wanted to share a little bit about the event.

Technology speaker Terry Brock talked about Social Networking and its impact for heathcare recruiters- a most important issue now and likely to remain relevant for years to come.

Adventurer Steve Donahue had us glued to our seats as he told his story of crossing the Sahara Desert, teaching us to follow our internal compasses. His program was longer than the usual hour keynote- he spoke for nearly two hours with an intermission, but he kept the audience enthralled with his unique storytelling abilities and breathtaking desert photographs. Steve recently completed another visit to the Sahara Desert so his program now includes an update on his seminal experiences there.

Tim Gard had all in absolute hysterics teaching us to not take ourselves too seriously- turn the "Bummers" into "WooHoos!".

One of the most unique event details I've seen was Thursday's dinner with former White House Chef Walter Scheib. Walter Scheib coordinated with the Canyons to produce an unbelievable four course dinner featuring dishes prepared for both the Clinton and Bush White House. In between courses, he provided stories galore on the behind-the-scenes details of working at the White House.

Another exceptional event for attendees, and something you can only experience in a meeting venue like Park City- all of us went snow shoeing Saturday morning, bright sunny skies and fresh, powdery new snow!
