I believe that the organisers of this conference have chosen a very timely subject for our discussion – because the 21st century will confront us with an entirely new set of challenges.
Time is a great conference planning our end, and youth is only the past putting a leg forward.
Our goal is to win the conference championship and go to the playoff and win the national championship and we recruit with that attitude.
On April 19 1943, the Bermuda conference gathered, with the participation of representatives from Britain and the United States, in order to discuss saving the Jews of Europe. In fact, the participants did everything in their power to avoid dealing with the problem.
When I go to the press conference before the game, in my mind the game has already started.
Lucas attended a conference on rational expectations at the University of Minnesota in the spring of 1973. The day after the conference, I received a call from Pittsburgh.
You can’t imagine how much detail we know about brains. There were 28,000 people who went to the neuroscience conference this year, and every one of them is doing research in brains. A lot of data. But there’s no theory. There’s a little, wimpy box on top there.
There are lot of issues we passed out of the House that have gotten not only a lot of Republican support – Tea Party and every group within the Republican conference – but even Democrats.
I remember Louis van Gaal wearing a tie for every press conference. It must have left an impression because I like to look smart even if I get a bit of stick.
Have you ever watched someone become American? Last week, at a national citizenship conference I organize, thirty immigrants from 17 countries swore an oath and became citizens of the United States. It was a stirring experience for the hundreds of people in the room.
I was the first judge in the ‘Indian Idol’ format. The biggest risk when you adapt a format from a country in the West is how to make it your own, so I remember at the press conference for Indian ‘X Factor,’ the press would ask, ‘Who is Simon Cowell?’ And I said ‘Why don’t you ask Simon Cowell, ‘Who is Sonu Nigam?’
If somebody doesn’t want to show up for a press conference I’ll pull them from the card.
Startupfest is a very positive conference. I think a lot of it has to do with how different culturally it is from other startup or tech conferences.
I’ve been a professional since I was a 17-year-old, over 200 league games from Conference all the way up to the Premier League now, so I think that’s experience in itself.
The vice-president of an advertising agency is a bit of executive fungus that forms on a desk that has been exposed to conference.
In my first press conference I said, ‘I’m here to win.’ If you don’t think that way, or any player thinks that way, why are you playing the game?
All the way through my high school and college there was never a doubt in anybody’s mind the ACC was the best conference.
When I worked for Entertainment Tonight I got to emcee Paul McCartney’s press conference.
There is a daily discussion with our servants about the price of food and the number of loaves: a conference with our presbyters to consider the sins of our people is a very rare occurrence.
There are many really good teams in our conference this season. Miami, Indiana and Detroit will be our fiercest opponents this year. But we just have to focus on our game and be patient with the realistic hope that we’ll be on top after all is said and done.
The 2000 Durban conference prompted action, and since then, great strides have been made in global health and the fight against HIV/AIDS.
I think the first person to call me ‘Britain’s Obama’ was Martin Bright at the New Statesman. Harriet Harman made the comparison once at a conference; it was very flattering but it made me cringe slightly.
Let us walk into the conference room as equals and not second class citizens.
Now that this legislation has passed the House, I look forward to the vote in the Senate that will bring us to Conference, where we can resolve any outstanding issues and make this postal reform reality – for the Postal Service and for all Americans.
At every writers’ conference, you have the opportunity to hear from best-selling authors, top literary agents, and excellent editors who will demystify the publishing industry and give you great advice, no matter where you are in your writing career or what you’re currently struggling with.
The word survivor suggests someone who has emerged alive from a plane crash or a natural disaster. But the word can also refer to the loved ones of murder victims, and this was the sense in which it was used at a four-day conference in early June at Boston College.
Nothing spooky or terrible happened on set, but we were told to say it had. We were giving a press conference and the writers were going on about these terrible things that supposedly happened while we were filming.
When I was a senior in college, I attended an inspiring conference at West Point called the Student Conference on U.S. Affairs, which paired political science majors with cadets in the hopes of building future civilian-military relationships.
That accolade, to be the best at your position in your conference, you want that on your resume.
I cheated at the Model United Nations when I was 13 and had to get up and apologise in front of the whole conference.
To one who believes that really good industrial conditions are the hope for a machine civilization, nothing is more heartening than to watch conference methods and education replacing police methods.
You can’t play like that in any conference, where bigs just continually get offensive rebounds and get fouled and get to the free throw line.
I’m used to being cut out of the conference meetings, but now they are cutting us out even before the bill’s are written or either the House or Senate Acts.
It would be nonsense to try to suggest that somebody who tried to rouse 2,000 people to their feet – which is what I used to do at conference – doesn’t have any element of exhibitionism about them.
The tea partiers are a great addition. The tea partiers have invigorated a base that has been dormant for a long period of time. We’re going to have a broad array of different views in our Republican conference, and I think it might be more interesting than any I’ve been in in a long time.
There is no way I could’ve been so durable playing in the Western Conference. The travel is nuts.
I would say from top to bottom, the SEC is strongest. Every now and then, another conference is going to have a great number one team. But week in and week out, having to play a really tough schedule that’s preparing you for the postseason, there’s no better conference than the SEC.
Too many managers manage by what the postgame press conference is going to be.
According to Ted Watt’s ‘The First Labor Day Parade,’ the September date was chosen because it coincided with a Knights of Labor conference in New York, thus guaranteeing a sizable turnout for the festivities.
We haven’t always been aware of it, but the ‘locker-room bro talk’ has long been going on not just in locker rooms but in some corporate conference rooms. Of course, not by all men. But by some – including some who hold positions of power. And that matters in holding women back.
Since there will be no one left to talk peace after the next war, it makes good sense to break with tradition and hold the peace conference first.
I once attended an advertising conference held at the Greenbrier Hotel in 1968. The dean of the original Mad Men, the great David Ogilvy, was the keynote speaker. The subject of his speech was the new creative revolution in advertising.
Who knows the minds of men and how they reason and what their methodology is? But I am not going to extrapolate from the General Conference backing out on my book and make it a personal issue.
I would point out that Japan’s proposal at the Versailles Peace Conference on the principle of racial equality was rejected by delegates such as those from Britain and the United States.
My deal is you start as far to the right as you can get, and go to the conference committee with the Senate, and hopefully end up with something you can live with.
Every party conference season, I’m struck by how much is spent on lobbying by the public affairs industry.
What if Barack Obama established a Presidential Advisory Committee that would meet once every couple of months, bringing together the former presidents for a conference in order to seek their collective wisdom? There is a wealth of experience in former presidents that generally goes untapped.
My favorite conference so far has been Davos, the World Economic Forum. The people there were really incredible.
It wasn’t my intention to get under Canelo’s skin at the first press conference. I think the media makes more of it than we do. We’ve both been in worse scuffles than that.
