Christmas comes but once a year...

...so let’s drag it out for as long as we possibly can!

Or so seems most retailers’ strategy when it comes to the festive season.

Christmas started at the end of October in shops around the area and will probably end around mid-January. I am not some Scrooge like character that dislikes Christmas, I love it though I do feel it is losing a bit of its charm as I get older. To add a bit of sparkle to this years Christmas I am jetting out to New York to see in the New Year in style! Fab!!!

Anyway, now I have bragged about my up-coming holiday...

We are definitely not using the run up to Christmas as an excuse to sit back and relax and are more than merry getting into the festive spirit whilst out on shows... in fact we have 6 shows about to fly out of the doors!

Everyone is a little bit on edge as traditionally, Secret Santa is drawn in the first week of December. With the day fast approaching everyone is a little anxious as to who they will pull out of the bag. Who will have to buy a present for the MD?! Who will receive the funniest present?! Who will receive the best?!

The excitement is reaching boiling point!!!

We have created our new all singing, all dancing (not literally might I add) email-able Christmas card which will be hitting inboxes of our nearest and dearest in December. If you want to receive an e-card from us send me an email to me, rdollman@comtec-presentations.com and I will put you on my ‘good kids’ list. Equally, if you want to send me an e-card, feel free :)

Anyway, that’s enough of a ramble from me regarding Christmas.

Enjoy the rest of November.

Apologies about the lack of posts

Last week was definitely one of the busiest of the year with one of our bigger events going out (they seem to get bigger as the year goes on!).

Infection 2009, the flagship conference of the Federation of Infection Societies saw half of Comtec de-camp to Birmingham for 4 days.

Everyone agreed it was a lot of hard work from everyone on the crew but overall, everyone had a great time.

Over 700 visitors came over the 3 days of the event to see speakers at the conference and the 75 stand exhibition.

This week everyone is catching up after being out of the office and getting on with the next jobs at hand... it never seems to stop but we wouldn’t have it any other way!

We also saw Rachel Bullock, Account Manager, move onto pastures new upon her return this week. Good Luck Rach, we know you will do well.

Infection 2009

Next week Comtec are to de-camp to Birmingham for the Infection2009 conference.
A big feature at the event will be speakers in the topic of the H1N1 virus which has attracted a bit of interest on event websites.

Here are a couple of links to give you a taste...
