That's it for this year! Great show, nice to meet all the Forum members who came up and introduced themselves!

The 'non-online Forum' Roundtable went VERY well, very nice to meet everyone, and get questions and participation in person.

Thanks to Linda for leading the discussion and to LDB, Pelicn, Dynamite1, Wingnut and Layoutshooter for being on the discussion panel, and also Ateam for being the official photog!

We got a lot of good questions, lot's of good advice, and a packed house for the whole 2 hrs!

Thanks again everyone who participated!

Linda had a great idea and then backed it up with a great job. If only 2 hours of highway would go by that fast. The shot of Wingnut standing in front of Elvis on stilts was a hoot.

It was a packed house, and the fastest 2 hours ever!! We had some great questions from many folks looking into the business.
It was so nice to put faces to screen names and speak face to face with so many great people.
Thanks Linda for an EXCELLENT seminar!

Mrs. Layoutshooter and I had a GREAT time. Linda's seminar played to a packed house and I really enjoyed being a part of it. It was wonderful to put faces to screen names. I was pleased to meet so many that I see in the forums. That alone makes coming to the Expo worth your while!! Everyone should try to make this a "must do" event next year!!

We should even try to have little "mini" events thoughout the year in different places across the country. It is always fun to have new people to talk with. It always amazes me just how much you can learn when with a group of expediters.

Did Linda wear her cheerleader outfit?

The workshop was just AWESOME!!! I need to thank everyone for all of their input and help as this is what made the workshop what it was. I need to give Tom a special thanks as him and I were able to share a lot of ideas before the workshop and even the day of the workshop. Thanks Tom for keeping me calm and not letting me over analyze the situation.

The turnout was great and I was amazed when I found out the time and had to shut the workshop down. I hope to heck we are able to do have this workshop again next year. I think we all learned something and as I said sometimes we are the teacher and sometimes we are the students.

I believe we all took something out of the room by way of knowledge and new friendships.

I am amazed at all of the screen names that I can now put a face to. OVM was able to sneak in and not add his name to the white board up front which was very sad as I think a lot of people in the room would have liked to have known that he was in attendance for various reasons.

I did have my cheerleader outfit on but I kept it under wraps during the workshop! The workshop was about expediters not about companies and over all that is how it turned out.

It was not me that made this workshop a success it was the ALL of the forum members that participated and also the lurkers that shared their ideas and thoughts.
