Lots of fun and friendships re-unite in Arizona

IdeaStar went back to the ICMG conference for the fifth straight year and it was our best one ever! We went in 2003 at the invitation of one customer. Now we have a couple dozen customers that we serve from ICMG. Here's some pictures from this year's event.


Jane Hudeck, senior project manager, and Mike Wise, Vice President-Sales, prep the IdeaStar booth for the show.


Old pals, Wayne Largent, Exec VP of IdeaStar, and Mike Owens, Chief Marketing Officer of Access Plans USA, share their mugs for the camera.


Chris Jones, National Sales Director for Insuranti, Inc. and his father, Danny Jones, Executive Vice President, stopped by our booth for a visit. Who's booth is that in the background?

Mike, Jane, and David Burke of Universal American.


Our hotel was located in Fountain Hills, Arizona. They have a fountain that shoots water high into the air. It's supposed to be the highest fountain in the United States.

The southwest sunsets are always spectacular even from hotel parking lots.

The Good Old Days!

The IdeaStar mystery employee guessing game has returned!
Take a stab at our next mystery employee from IdeaStar...
Leave your comments below, if you think you can guess who it is!!


Way back before becoming a part of IdeaStar, this cowboy was all dressed up for his studious Kindergarten school picture. He was decked out in his plaid shirt, huge smile and all for school picture day.

His favorite activities included playing outside, eating Starburst and playing his Atari 800! (video game fanatics, maybe that clue will help ;)
