Mardi
Gras crowd in New Orleans |
conference will open
today at 5pm (U.S. Central time). Things get
underway with a cocktail hour at the Westin Canal
Place Hotel, then attendees will board buses for a
ride to a traditional New Orleans crawfish boil
this evening. Two full days of seminars, networking and Mardi
Gras parties will follow tomorrow and on the closing
day, Saturday, which will also include a live domain
auction.
I'll have highlights of the
prior day's activities in this column Friday and Saturday
mornings. Closing day highlights will be |
posted Monday morning
(would have done that Sunday, but that day I will be in
central Ohio to join other family members from
around the country for a 90th birthday
celebration for my mother who is still going strong). As
always, we will follow with a detailed conference
review article a few days after I return to our home
base in Florida next week. We will have hundreds
of photos and show notes to sift through in producing
that piece which we expect to publish on Monday, March
2.
Diana and I are looking
forward to seeing all of you who will be in New Orleans
for the show and to passing along photos and highlights
of what promises to be a memorable event to those who
couldn't make the trip.
