Smart Meetings

Bios

Carolyn Koenig

Editor

What is the craziest place you have ever traveled to? An eco-lodge in the Ecuadorian rainforest. The lodge wasn't crazy—I was, for traveling in a rickety bus with a broken windshield over a spine of the Andes.
 
Favorite Smart Meetings memory? Being on the Vitamin V team with Zac and Ginny at our company’s team-building event last summer (we were voted #1, by the way).
 
On the weekends you are likely to be…Hunkered down over a good book, pretending to be Julia Child (is there a book deal here?) or working in my weed garden.
 
What phrase could describe your desk? What desk? You mean there’s something under these papers?
 
How do you take your coffee? Lightly
