Acronym

I'm in the airport, waiting to board the plane to Orlando for Great Ideas. I'm looking forward to it--I've never been before as either an ASAE & The Center staff person or a member.

Even if you're not going, I hope you'll stay tuned to Acronym. We have some great guest bloggers who will be sharing their thoughts throughout the conference, and of course Scott and I will be posting as well.

Here's my first idea, before I even get to the same state as the conference: More electrical plugs at airport gates! I'm sitting with about eight other laptop users, all huddled around four plugs placed closely together in one row. We're all bonding over our addiction to e-mail, but just think how much airlines could improve the average business traveler's experience with more comfortable places to plug in (and perhaps free wireless?).

Perhaps at your association's next meeting or conference, you could wander around and see if there are places where members are clustering to an uncomfortable degree (around the coffee station, the internet cafe, or perhaps something else). Could you find ways to open up access to whatever that thing is, and improve their conference experience?
