Bummer, but I did talk to a lot more people this year, except I hardly saw you Jeff! Anyway possible some were networking as well. Seemed like more were out and about this year.

I only went to one session devoted to EPDM. Tell me you did not just quote Justin Timberlake?! That is good news about the attendance of the EPDM sessions.

Tell me you did not just quote Justin Timberlake?!

The birds of a feather session definitely had the highest number of attendees. I think it's a competing interest thing. Most attendees are engineers so they are drawn to the topics that occupy most of their day. PDM is a necessary evil. As Justin Timberlake sang, we need to 'bring sexy back' to PDM. Perhaps the work we are doing with incorporating presence technology will do it? :-) Joy Hi Jeff -
