Acronym

One of the great opportunities to take advantage of during the Annual is networking with peers, whoop it up with old friends and bread bread with new ones. Sunday evening was run of one reception to the next, ending with dinner with a few friends at midnight. In the process it can be easy to forget that you are not just *networking*, but touching bases with people. Sometimes running from one handshake to the next just isn't enough. As much as I want to meet everyone that I can, I simply can't. It may not work out for the networking side of the equation. But spending a couple minutes more to ask about jobs, spouses, kids, lives, loves.....that's the balance that makes meetings like this special.

Hope to meet you sometime in the next couple of days!
