The conference looks fabulous. Too bad I’ll be on the left coast. When I looked at the faculty, I thought, “You guys are just gonna go have fun together.” I want to see this conference blogged madly!
Looks great!
And it’s just a Metro ride away from home. Thanks and kudos to the folks putting this together.
