I have been to many conferences, but this is the first one that my face was actually sore from smiling and I got a blister from shaking hands.

This is spot-on reporting. I've been meaning to catch my breath and take a stab at getting the word out about what's happening in Columbus now for the past three years running.

It's turned into an event like no other :0)

Thank must go to Joe "Zonker" Brockmeir for the accurate report!
