Folks, I'm e-mailing this only to the Board list until I get the details. There is a good chance that Ricky Cain will not be able to go to the convention. His life has tanked recently, and his marriage is on the rocks. Hopefully I will know definitively today or tomorrow. Because I believe that the bearer of bad news should offer up a solution, here is a revised schedule for only six speakers. Basically, I moved Eric Do to Ricky's spot on Saturday and ended things a little sooner on Friday, which suits me anyway because I am not a late-night person. :-) Friday 7:30 AM - 4:00 PM Field Trip to Monterey Bay Aquarium 7:30 Depart Sheraton 9:00 Arrive Monterey Bay Aquarium 9:30-11:00 Welcome; MBA orientation briefing; River Otters R&D briefing; behind the scenes tours in groups of less than 10 people. 11:00-2:00 Visit aquarium exhibits, wander Cannery Row or whatever; on your own 2:30 Depart MBA 4:00 Arrive Sheraton 4:00-10:00 PM General Registration / Vendor Rooms 7:30-8:00 Welcome and introductions 8:00-9:00 Jeff Senske - Photography workshop ?
