THIS would have been THE IIT-ID event for me to attend. [sigh] For this, twitter will never do it justice. We need meebo and/or streaming video recaps. SOMETHING. This is a big deal. This is our one chance to really connect with these voices (since they never answer my emails :). All of my strategy engagement materials are laced with their voices. They need to hear some of the challenges we're having and discuss. I will, however be blocking out those days from my calendar as if I WAS attending so I can focus totally on the interactions.
