Last week, I and members of the Elasticity team, packed up our bags and headed north to Washington DC to spend some time in our nation’s capitol. Yes, the required walk to the White House to take a few photos took place, and the visit to Capitol Hill (interspersed with meetings on the Hill to discuss immigration reform) and various museums to play the tourist were certainly fitted into my agenda. And a long walk from our hotel up Embassy Row, past the outposts of many nations, is always an iconic experience for me that I made sure to do on my way to a meeting with the UK Trade and Investment team at the British Embassy to discuss the growth and opportunity in the St. Louis region.
