Can't make it to the conference? Join in on Twitter via the hashtag #scla2011!
FYI, I'm soliciting session notes to post here after the conference so that we can share session info with those of you who couldn't make it. I understand that it's not always possible to attend conferences, especially when you're new and not yet high enough on the totem pole for your employer to sponsor your travel. I'll do what I can to bring the conference to you!
If you're reading this from Charleston, don't forget the NMRT session on Friday at 9 am in Meeting Room 11. Elections will be held at the conclusion of the meeting.
