Day 4
Pat went with me to help me find my room and be sure I had my overhead and CD player. He also hung around to take a few pics. Everything was fine.
This conference was poorly attended. I think people like more exotic locations. My first AATF was in Martinique! We made it a 2 week vacation and explored both Martinique and Guadeloupe before and after the actual conference. My second was in Quebec City and we also did the 2 week thing. I presented at that conference, very cool, 23 floor of a HIlton overlooking the ST Lawrence Seaway - I guess I should save that for a different blog. My point is, in Quebec I had 55 people in attendance. All the sessions I went to in Quebec were overflowing. Here, I had about 12 people! It was informal and fun. I never saw more than 18 people in any session I attended. Exhibit halls were pretty empty too.
I did my conference thing and Pat and Danny worked out and lounged by the pool.
