Teardown


After months of planning, working, and honing details, the event was over and suddenly, the room was stripped of its personality. It was no longer the safe classroom where 75 people met, laughed, learned and celebrated. It was no longer the backdrop for budding relationships, friendships, and tests of professionalism. It was simply a hotel space. The posters and banners came down; the tables were disassembled and reconfigured. Another event would be set up shortly. New people would enter a different space and create their own unique atmosphere. Ours had evaporated like magic as soon as the tablecloths were pulled from the tables.
