Yes ocassionally, to conventions more often. Best memory is however when I was in fancy wine tasting (release of a new product) and this occured same time as the meeting. Event was filmed and televised later that evening as one insert of the late evening news. There I was, smutting my wine (tenth I guess) and small talking to gorgeus lady in national news. Some friends made me aware that they had seen me there with some notable wink. I have no idea what story my wife had told them about my absence from meeting.
Those were the days
