Urbana: 31 December

1 January 2007 by pcNielsen Leave a Comment

With the bell of the New Year, the Urbana attendees took communion last night and the conference officially ended.

Hannah and I didn’t make it into any of the plenary sessions but don’t harbor any regrets. Despite slower traffic through the exhibit hall yesterday, the conference exceeded my expectations (the third day, the day when no seminars were offered, was the busiest). It’s a little disappointing that we were not able to exhibit in 2003 as well, or we might have one or two additional programmers right now and be farther ahead with some of the projects we have in mind.

The conference also confirmed the need for some of these projects. Finding an agency who has need for what you’re interested in can be a real challenge, and we have ideas for websites and internet tools which speak to this need.

Today we drive home and sleep in our own bed for the first time in 12 days after travel for Christmas and Urbana.
