Honrable mentions: Being absolutely delirious in the VTF Suite with Velvet and Danese, people watching at the Omni at the wee hours of the morning, catching up with Marlon Walker, touring ESPN's The Undefeated Headquarters, the longest Uber drive ever after the Sports Task Force party, "Step Up Your Gains" and absolutely PACKING our presentation despite compeating with Hillary Clinton's conference appearance (way to go Gabe, Koci and Danese).

I learned SO much this convention. For me, Koci's presentation on storytelling and tools was MAJOR. Check out his materials HERE. This link has tools, tips, tricks and apps for multimedia storytelling. He was up there PREACHING. Like, I was literally about to pass the collection plate around the room. We had multimedia CHURCH up in there. Hahaha. Also on that panel was my mentor, Tampa Bay Deputy Director for Photography and Multimedia, Danese Kenon and CNN Senior Producer Gabriel Ramirez. I was absolutely grateful that things worked out and that people seemed to thourghly enjoy the presentation.

Conventions are always a bit stressful and I still haven't slept more than 4 hours since Wednesday, but it was completely worth it. I'm looking forward to New Orleans next year! #letsgoagain #greatgame #NABJNAHJ16 #summertimefine #untilnextyear #onwardandupward
