LOL Justin - yes, eye-opening is right! At the expo, just learn to walk 
down the middle of the aisles and don't let the vendors see your eyes 
turn toward them!!

Just kidding! Actually you'll see some of the people on this list at 
vendor booths. And IBM has a large area where you might meet the folks 
there who show up here, as well, and they're happy to talk.

Hey, even David Gibbs is there with a vendor, and he's pretty much no 
one to be feared!!

I think the opportunity for gaining knowledge and networking can be of 
benefit - I'll be presenting a case study about how I just dropped in on 
a session because I knew the speaker and learned something that led to a 
solution to a pesky problem we had with data coming from our field 
associates. Whoda thunk it?

See you in San Antonio!
