There are so many people to thank for this year's event. I hope I don't forget anybody.

First off, big thanks to Chris Scott, Alex Rudloff, Danny Sanchez and John Rife for being the on-the-ground folks during (and leading up to) the main event. All their work behind-the-scenes in the weeks leading up to the event made everything go smoothly and made my job much easier.

This event of course would be nothing without the session leaders. They all gave up their own time to help the attendees learn more. Many of them also traveled from outside of Orlando (and Florida) to be here. Shel Israel, Tom Biro, Laurie Mayers, Jake McKee, Annie Heckenberger, Dave Coustan, David Parmet, Geoff Livingston, Chris Heuer, Benet Wilson, Mindy McAdams, Nik Willets, Danny Sanchez, Tommy Duncan, Chris Scott, Judson Collier, Jeremy Harrington, Mark Jaquith, Ryan Price, John Rife, Mark Trammell, Jim Johnson, Alicia Dorset, Connie Reece and Alex Rudloff.....the attendees say a big Thank You.

Hats off to Rollins College (Jennifer, Anne Marie, Katie) for providing the space and a big round of applause to Rochelle from Rollins IT for taking care of any wifi issues that popped up.

Billy, Andrea, Jill and Sara from Kennedy Space Center, thanks for the amazing tour for our session leaders and friends on Thursday.

Cindy Green from Universal Studios, thanks for the awesome time on Thursday night at Universal CityWalk. However a few key folks enjoyed themselves a bit too much if you know what I mean. I think Alex Rudloff will be sending your a personal thank you note :-)

Universal Studios also came through big with the Halloween Horror Nights tickets as well as the park passes. I know the folks that won them were seriously stoked.

Thanks to all the sponsors, Jennifer at the Orlando EDC, Susan at the Orlando CVB, Annie from GPTMC, Dan/Ted at PayPerPost, Chris from KUA, the whole gang at FPRA Orlando, Robert at ADS, Nick and crew at CNP_Studio for all the iPods we gave away.

Thanks to Chris Scott for organizing the happy hour at Slingapour's, although you guys didn't drink as much as I had budgeted :-)

Everybody else that offered to help, thanks as well. I can't tell you how many people said, "Anything I can do to help?"

A wrap-up post looking at the event from a content/issues standpoint is coming later.
