I too am very much looking forward to the event and sitting on Jack's panel. I must be pumped if you could see from where I am even sending this message!
If you're sitting on the fence, get off! It's going to be great. Friendly Regards, Mike Mike Gilchrist Disruptive Technologist Advanced Wireless Express P.O.

It started as just a get together but has grown into something really special that I believe people will be kicking themselves for missing afterwards. Just the board meeting is pretty spectacular with our first ever 100% attended meeting and since the meeting is happening during an election cycle I'm sure it will be the first time WISP's can meet the candidates before actually voting on them. Its obvious this industry was starving for an event like this and honestly the feedback from the last Round table session at previous shows still has me jazzed. Yes we have great speakers, a great facility and WISPA totally got carried away with feeding the attendees with costs for food actually more that the attendance fee per person. It's our first so everything we did we probably over-did from the typically cost conscious shows as money wasn't our driving factor, the quality of the meeting meant more to the board. Call it good timing but with the economy slowly stabilizing our meeting is just like people taking vacation, they didn't last year, now they can't wait this year. I look forward to seeing you and everyone else at what will be a Regional Meeting for the books.
