Cartes Exhibition, Paris
This week I spent Wednesday and Thursday in Paris at the world's largest smart card exhibition where Collis had a stand.
We had an exhausting time, I felt as if I had spent the whole week there when we had only been gone for 48 hours, there was so much to see and I have come away with a better appreciation of what goes on behind the scenes when you use your credit card. You wouldn't believe how many companies are involved getting that little bit of plastic from the bank to you...
One of my favourite stands was for Cryptography Research Inc who has an actual enigma machine from world war 2 on their stand.
We also had a great dinner at a top Paris restaurant, with everyone having a good time.
We left on Wednesday at 5:30am and didn't get to bed until 1:15 the following am, so I have suffered as if I had been drinking heavily! A few hours missed sleep and it's all messed up!
