Chris, one of the best things you can do is network, look for me, I am the guy with the baseball hat with the propeller on top. And I am presenting last session on wed afternoon. If you can afford the proceedings get those and be sure to check out the daily updates and feel free to introduce yourself to people you never know who u will meet from the list and/or might be your next peer/boss ;) And have a good time Joe Sent from the crackberry, so please excuse the typos and terseness.

Suggestions? Ok, so this is my first time attending the Collaborate, and I'm curious what things I can do to make the most out of it? I've signed up for the education sessions (of course), and I saw the newsletter that IOUG sent out about the events. (Open Mic etc...) I'm just curious if anyone has any suggestions, or activities they would suggest?
