Thank You for Attending the 10th Biennial Regentrief Conference


During the conference, several attendees asked me if the slideshows will be available from the conference. On the last day, I was also asked to share the emails of our wonderful and engaging group of presenters. Since blogs are a great, free way to share information with others and allow comments and communication, I've created this blog for the attendees to reference.

Please let me know if there is any other information that I can put up in this space. I had such a wonderful time watching our months of planning come to fruition, but I walked away enriched by meeting and talking with each of you.

Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to share these few days with us.

I also want to thank the following people for their help in making this conference work:

Anne Johnson (email wrangler, flight scheduler, registration lass, conference planner pal, and bartender)
Becky Reyes (ground transportation guru, food planner, registration lass, conference planner pal, and bartender)
Pam Jensen (airport arrival expert)
Jennifer Myers (airport arrival expert and conference hand)
Terry Minton (expert audio/visual johnny on the spot)
Mary Gray (wise sage, voice of reason, and unflappable support system)

And finally, a small group of researchers were responsible for the content of this conference, Ranga Ramanujam, David Haggstrom, Malaz Boustani, and especially the guy who had the vision to pull this all off - Brad Doebbeling.

Nice blog Shawn! For those who view the YouTube video, the last few lines of caption are missing. They are:

Helpdesk (HD): Have you read the manual?
User: The manual? . . . Oh yeah, this? The same problem applies. It won't open . . .

Shawn,
Post conference follow-up via the internet is a fantastic idea! You have raised the bar and taken the RI Conference to a whole new level!
