Our full team will be there. Fortunately it's only a 7-hour drive from here so we don't have to deal with the $3,000+ cost of plane tickets. Looks like all four conferences that week will be very informative.

Another long time lurker here. I'm going and quite looking forward to it. Make sure that whoever's taking care of your tickets has registered already, because today's the early registration deadline.
