The
Heartland DC is officially underway today. Starting with opening remarks by
Joe Olsen at 7:30am (and the house was packed even then!) followed by
Rocky Lhotka's keynote the conference got off to a great start. Only two of the 140 registered did not show up (and actually may have arrived since I left the registration area). With well over 80 folks stuck on the waiting list, the 2005 event should be even bigger and better. Special thanks to all of the speakers, Joe Olsen,
Kent Tegels, and our sponsors.
