Common Conference Grids...

[Don <dr2@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK,

I'm not wanting to thrown water on a good idea, but....

Why do I need a $500 piece of equiptment to tell me where I'm supposed to
be at a conference?  Not to mention the software/time costs?

Frankly, I just printoff the grids before I hit the plane then on the way
down circle all the ones I'm interested with a yellow hi-liter with
appropriate notations, then I do a critical path with a red market of THE
one that I'm going to go see.

On the day of conference, I compare my grid with the one published in the
(conference publication's name dujour that's not been taken by IBM for
some marketing campaign), make the appropriate quick mods and walk to my
first session...

In all total, I'm carrying with me usually 5 sheets of paper with the
SINGLE DAY's grids, hotel/room layouts and my copy of (see previous
reference)....and have saved the $500!  ...at the end of the day, I just
toss them.

If my primary session interest is canceled, I can see AT A GLANCE what my
secondary contingencies are and just go there...

Perhaps my non-tech solution isn't glamorous enough...:)   But, if anyone
wants to send me a Sony palm with the latest and greatest o/s and
technologies, I'll consider using it...:)
