I just got a prestigious invite to the CIO Summits!
On behalf of our Board, I wanted to personally invite you into The CIO Summits because of your key role and experience.
The CIO Summits is an invitation-only group comprised of the very best executives and visionaries in the technology field. We meet monthly to exchange what is working, what is not, strategies and ideas. It is a confidential forum with dedicated groups of other successful technology executives whose only agenda is to help each other outperform.
My response:
Thanks for the invite, Jason! Although I have a list of requirements. Here is my rider:
• I require three slips at a premier sailing club within 15 minutes of the hotel. My smallest yacht needs a minimum of three (3) slips.
• A crew of: One (1) skipper with intercontinental sea experience, five (5) gold-seal sailors, one (1) masseuse, one (1) chef, and one (1) portrait painter (renaissance specialist preferred).
• I will need an array of extreme water sports equipment available at all hours. Kite and wind surfing equipment is priority. They should all be set to the goofy foot set.
• I need one room that faces the sunrise, and another that faces sunset. My bed will be on rollers so that my room attendant can silently roll it from the sunset room to the sunrise room, it is extremely important that I am naturally awoken by the sun. The room attendant must be female and “youthful”.
• A week before my arrival a B52 will transport my cars, we team will need a closed runway away from public view, a 18 wheeler capable of transporting a minimum of 5 cars, and a maintenance crew.
• I lost my left arm in a kite surfing incident in 2006, since then I have a hired an arm double to sit directly behind me during meals and fill in for my lost arm. For the illusion to work I need to always be seated against a false wall which my double (Aaron) can discretely slide his arm through the hole and my sweater. I will need full discretion from your team and the hotel.
• Cellphones will need to be banned on the hotel and conference premises, my psychic says the radio waves are limiting my arm’s regrowth.
Let me know when we should start getting my cars packed for transport.
Yours,William HHJD Wilkinson
Oh, Will.
