Urbana: 30 December

Yesterday was a shorter day for exhibitors and the one day of the conference no seminars were offered. Just about everyone was exhausted: attendees, exhibitors and volunteers. Hannah and I were able to bed down a little earlier last night though; it was the first night we didn’t have something or someone on our schedule.

The exhibit hall was busier yesterday and attendees asked more questions. The top of our display gets to the point: “internet + missions.” This phrase has drawn a lot of people in, programmers as well as people who claim they barely know where the power switch is.

Today will be long. We have lunch with the founder of ArtsLink and her husband, are back in the exhibit hall until 6:30pm and then tear down as much as we can. Sadly, Hannah has yet to find opportunity to sit in on a plenary session; hopefully we can do that today as well, even if only for a few minutes.
