Gearing up for Oz THOMAS BARNETT The meeting, later this month, is a joint Australian Davos Clud-World Economic Forum regional meet, but one that seems slanted to a senior leadership retreat by the Aussies in particular. Starts on a Friday night, which means I've got to be leaving LA by Wednesday night to get there. The offer is a keynote and participation on two panels (priv-pub partnerships and the Middle East). It's one of those too-prestigious-to-offer-money gigs, which are nonetheless valuable for networking and follow-on relationships/gigs. I got this offer last year but couldn't make the situation/sked work, plus the offer was like 20 mins to speak and over 50 hours of flying seemed like a lot for just 20 mins. But this time the timing is much better, so it looks like it's going to work out, with some minor reshuffling on our end. As a result, I am looking into international travel/health insurance, mostly on the basis of my scary experience in Crete (the MSG poisoning) and just the realization that playing those odds as one gets older is not smart ("What me, worry?"). thomaspmbarnett.com
