I need something to do on the plane home, so thought I’d write a different sort of post….with all the names from all the business cards I collected at the conference! (Apologies to those I met that I didn’t get cards from.) Here’s the list, roughly in order from when I got there Monday afternoon through Wednesday at about 5:45 pm when I had to split for the airport (sadly, before the final dinner). Note: these are not necessarily people I met for the first time — some I already knew and just renewed friendships with.
