I got the first dibs. 🤣

This is my 19th year attending this annual event at the central bank and, of course, I had to be there.

Aside from the stories I would get (that I desperately needed) from this event, I also wanted to see the art pieces that are in rotation and the Brutalist architecture of the PICC.

I can have these framed in a shadow box.

And as usual, I brought home the table decor 🤣

As usual, we journalists are the ones left behind. The catering service crew was already wrapping up, we were still hanging out by the tables, drinking wine and taking selfies. For almost 20 years… 🙌
