BWE has come a long way since the first try in Vegas some half dozen years or so ago. I was there then, too.

It’s stimulating here…there a lot of interesting topics and the exhibits open tomorrow.

Shankman…gets us off to an R-rated start.

Relvancy – listen to your audience.

There were a couple of more but I can’t remember now. I think they started with an F-.

If you are here…ping me. And let’s hook up.
