Conference Ho

Definition

A perpetually jet-lagged corporate executive who treats industry conferences as extended vacations with Wi-Fi and free business cards; mysteriously unreachable whenever actual work deadlines approach.

Brad's at his third conference this month—at this point, I'm pretty sure he's a professional event attendee who occasionally remembers he has an office.
