Almost here

Hello all,
We’ll be seeing you in a few short days.

Weather.com tells me that you’ll be enjoying highs near 70 and lows of 47 in the evenings with sun all week.

Apparently, Mother Nature will also be finished with the rain for the week once the red carpets get rolled up tonight. Fingers crossed on that front.

If you haven’t filled out the form regarding break out groups – please do, we’d like to get a sense of attendance numbers to book the appropriate sized areas. Thanks.

If you are attending the pre-conference: Please take a look at the description of the afternoon session.

We need for you to bring with you your case statements and language you use for grants.

The more prepared you are to share with the rest of the group; the better the session will be for everyone.

I’m also pleased to announce that Liz Ondaatje, formerly of RAND, will be joining us to moderate the funder session.

If you didn’t submit your Brag, Bitch, Brain info yet please try to do so by end of the day Monday so that we may include it in the materials for distribution on Thursday.

Thanks for your patience and participation.

We’re trying some new formats for the conference this year and hope that we can leverage the knowledge in the room and make this super productive for everyone.

Safe travels.

Terence
