Been slinging ones and zeroes since 1996 ā¦ 
This is the first conference where I will be within a reasonable driving distance and have the time to go ā finally my long-haul is lessened to the point Iām not in the doctorās every month!!

What exactly is the dinner event?
Iām having to plan for the fact that I now live without anyone other than my dogā¦ so I may have to drive there and back on both event days to be home at night to walk and feed the dog on Monday night before driving back on in on Tuesday at stupid oāclock in the morningā¦ and head home that same night.
Weāll be posting more details as soon as we finalize everything. FWIW the hotel is pet friendly. Iām not sure the details but may be worth inquiring!
Sessions are announced, we have had some more registrations come in too!
We have attendees registered from: Canada, France, Germany, Spain, UK and USA.
