During our regular CMEpalooza check-ins, Derek and I usually have a good grasp of the calendar, including when and where various levers need to be pulled to ensure the success of another Palooza.
It was therefore a bit unusual when, while speaking earlier this week, we both realized that it was T-minus 3 weeks until CMEpalooza Fall is upon us (Wednesday, October 21, but you already knew that). But being the seasoned pros we are, there was no need to panic. OK, there was minimal need to panic, but that passed quickly. (note from Derek: I am happy to report that, unlike CMEpalooza Spring, I remembered not to schedule a work trip for the day of CMEpalooza Fall. Progress!)
So without further ado, here is what you can expect from us the next few weeks:
Next week (October 5-11): We’ll be holding our annual sponsor event, where you will get the chance to learn all sorts of interesting information about the innovative organizations that support CMEpalooza Fall. More details coming on Monday morning.
October 12-18: The return of the CMEpalooza STEPtacular Challenge, sponsored by Talem Health. Derek generously lets people get their steps in over the weekend (and sometimes gives people an extra day if he is feeling kind), but if you want to win the big money, we’d suggest to start building up your stamina now.
October 14: CMEpalooza Haiku. I don’t think I have ever specifically promoted this before, but Derek has gotten pretty good with his poetry so let’s give him his flowers.
October 21: The live broadcast of CMEpalooza Fall. Earlier this week, we showed you one example of how you can make our live day of education truly special for your team (we’ll have a second example next week). And yes, we realize there are still a few small details that need to be filled in with our agenda – don’t worry, everything will come together as it always does.
October 22: Take a deep breath and celebrate another year of CMEpalooza.
October 23: Begin preparations for CMEpalooza 2027. Yes, you’re stuck for us for another year (at least)
