CES is the exception -- so the Annual Author Appreciation Dinner was born. This year was the 4th Annual and there were eight of us at Sensi in the Bellagio and we had an absolutely grand time! The stories were wonderful (it’s amazing how they got better as the hour grew later!) and the camaraderie was even better.

Who’d have thought that “network neutrality” could lead to such an intense conversation. Not to mention Citrix, payroll, and the future of trade shows. A great time was had by all. Several of us headed over to the Mirage for PepComm’s Digital Experience following dinner, but there’s a rumor that the conversation at the Bellagio lasted, and lasted, and lasted, and lasted...

These guys truly are the “best and the brightest” and I’m honored and humbled to be able to work with them and, more importantly, to call them friends.
