Absolutely, YES!
As we (ACT) typically announce at the beginning, we did not invent any of this stuff. We might repackage it in a unique way, but ultimately we learned almost all of it from someone else. Given that, as more information gets added to the body of knowledge, ideas, techniques, and how they are applied evolves. Part of the "adaptive" in our title is evolving along with it.
So, yes, I learned some new things and some new twists on things I already know. That was one of the primary goals of my trip, and I was successful in that regard. Some of the things are really simple, but just too obviously good to not pass on to others. Some are a little different way of doing things that will help us fine tune how we do and present information.
One thing we won't do is 12+ hours days! Of course, with a traveling company like DTI, you necessarily have to do a lot more at one time. Since we're local, we have the luxury of spreading things over more days and weeks or months.
