Still At The Conference

events, professional 1 Minute

It’s still working around the clock, meeting with people and talking with potential sponsors.

A colleague sent me a picture from the first conference day (the Community Events Day), and I really like it:

This morning was a Women’s Breakfast. it was hosted in a different hotel, and the setup was a work of art!

That was an additional opportunity to chat with many of my friends with whom I hadn’t had a chance to exchange a word at that conference yet.

It rained all day, so I was glad we had a chance to walk outside on Tuesday. Even though it was raining, we wanted to go for dinner with my UK co-worker, and we found a restaurant with mostly authentic food within walking distance.

I am really happy with how everything is going so far, with all the conversations I had, and my outlook for my upcoming conference is optimistic.

My name is Henrietta (Hettie) Dombrovskaya. I was born in Saint-Petersburg, Russian (actually, back then – Leningrad, USSR) in 1963, and immigrated to the United States in 1996. I love Saint Petersburg, the city I was born and raised in, and I think it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world. Similarly (but differently) I love Chicago, and can’t imagine myself moving somewhere else in the observable future. I have three children, Igor, Vlad and Anna, all adults living on their own, and one (so far) granddaughter Nadia. I also believe that my children are the best thing that happened in my life. As for my professional life, I am working in the field of Information Technologies. When I was twenty, I’ve declared that the databases are the coolest thing invented and that I want to do them for the rest of my life. Thirty plus years later, I still believe it’s true, and still, believe that the databases are the best. These two statements together imply that I think a person can have it all, and indeed, I think so! Keep reading my journals to find out how I did it.
