Ya goin' to ERE in San Diego?

We're in the planning stages of making ready for our annual trek to the ERE conference in San Diego this Spring.  I was wondering who all we might find in attendance -- reply to this post and let us know if you plan to be there.

Just for starters in consideration for registering, there's this year's conference chair, Michael McNeal, VP of Talent Strategy and Acquisition for Intuit.  Who remembers hearing Michael speak at ERE Spring 2007 when he as the "Morning Guy" giving the presentation publicly chastised "Night Guy," his alter ego who had apparently made the former stay up way too late the night before consuming innumerable margaritas?!  Michael has a wealth of knowledge to share, and he's just an all-around good guy, too.  Some of my favorite speakers who will also be espousing their knowledge are Lou Adler, Aziz Chowdhury, Ben Gotkin, Cathy Henesey, Rodney Moses, Dr. John Sullivan, Kevin Wheeler, and Jeremy Eskenazi.  Can't miss 'em!

At our last ERE conference in Fall 2008, we had our usual blast!  We exhibited our booth for the first time.  And we made fast work of the all important socializing in the evening -- see the pictures of several of us dancing on the tables at Opa Taverna.  I mean, come on!    And hey, you know these photos really were snapped at ERE because I'm wearing my conference badge (what a dweeb!).  See you in San Diego next!

Hi Alise,

I don't believe we've met, but perhaps that will change next month at ERE. It sounds like the conference will be a bit more intimate this year.
