I'm still in a bit of a daze.  I had a ball, and I think lots of
other folks did too, so I think it was close to perfect.

Except for a few folks with things to show (and one of you know just
who you are) who missed many of the big room talks as they got
collared by the interested.

I'd suggest for next time a "stands" room, and a presentation
room.
Which I think you are already there with.

Or to put it another way; its how to mix the presentationally led
stuff from the standsy stuff.  For me, it was the standsy stuff that
was really interesting, as I got to meet some people whose work I had
admired fom afar.
