Thanks for a fantastic TBEX day. I agree with Jessica that is was a well-organized conference providing quality information. I'm still amazed that you arranged such a high-quality event at no cost to us. Kudos to you. Hope you get a few days of well-needed rest and relaxation.

THANKS!

Thanks again for an excellent conference, gang. It was not only well-organized, it was a collection of top-notch panelists (on well-moderated panels!) talking about interesting subjects. And I had a great time meeting all those avatars in person. :)

So, when do we start submitting suggestions for the location of TBEX 2010? ;)

Thanks for the disability info Jessie, I should've thought of that since I brought my son (who uses a wheelchair for mobility too) there once. Great info!
Jessie Voigts Comment by Jessie Voigts on July 23, 2009 at 8:16pm
just a note for people with mobility disabilities attending TBEX. i use a wheelchair scooter to get around and so called the cultural center today to scope out the site.

there is ONE accessible entrance that will be open on sunday. it is on randolph street. there are parking ramps further down randolph and those were advised as the closest to that door. the underground 'pedway' (ped walk? i forget what they called it, but the walkway from the cultural center's underground parking) will not be open on sunday.

we can't wait to come and meet you all! see you soon!
