>IF you've never been before, I found the following advice to be good: Bring an extra (folding) suitcase to carry home the conference materials, books, t-shirts, etc. and be sure to bring WARM clothes (long pants, socks, sweatshirt) since the session rooms are FREEZING! Of course, it should be pool weather outside on the patio. ;-)

Thanks Cindy. Good to have a woman advising.
Other fellows just told me about the beer nights!

Hope to see you there!
