Back in the Ice Ages when I worked for Digital Equipment, I got sent lots of places to give talks on our product (DEC customers didn't want to hear it from a marketing dweeb, they wanted to hear it from the engineer!).
The "neatest" place was probably Cannes. Right on the beach. It didn't suck.
Two weeks later I got sent to Saddle Brook, NJ (Toys'R'Us headquarters). It was an unfortunate comparison.
