I'm so glad you're here!! I have created a link to each page that represents sessions I attended. Below each page I tried to give a brief explaination of the session so you'll have an idea of what the content is prior to opening the page. I will also note the presenter as well as if I facilitated or attended. Please share any information you may have on the topic as well! That's the power of a Wiki.

Dinner with Encyclopedia Britannica and EBSCO
Yes...I got dinner...and yes...it was yummy! :) However, the exciting thing was that I was able to meet, face-to-face, people that deal with the different contracts I am in charge of at Region 16 ESC. They were very nice and through our conversation, I learned a lot about the products and their vision for education.
Breakfast with Adobe
Yess...I got breakfast as well...and...well...not so yummy this time (I don't do fish - and there were crab cakes with breakfast...); however, everything else about the breakfast/presentation was outstanding! We got to see where Adobe had come from, what they offer right now, and then where the future of Adobe is heading. I signed an agreement that I wouldn't share any of that information (a non-disclosure agreement) so if I told you - I'd have to kill you. ;) just kidding. I really can't tell anything, but suffice it to say - it's awesome!!
