Our day started in the exhibit hall with a delicious Tex Mex breakfast and lots of visitors interested in buying the speakers' books, which we have in stock for purchase. We have Wiley and SAS Business Series titles, including Thornton May's The New Know, as well as titles by Malcolm Gladwell, Martha Rogers, and Geoffrey Moore, among others. I had the pleasure of meeting Martha yesterday and Geoffrey this (Thursday) morning. Martha came in to buy a copy of Jonathan Hornby's Radical Action for Radical Times, to which she was a contributor. I met Geoffrey, who is also a contributor to Jonathan's book, at the very early hour of 7 a.m., and he talked to me on camera about what it was like to work with Jonathan on the book and discussed some of the concepts addressed there. See my photo with Thornton May, he was a great interview that I look forward to sharing with all of you!

Yesterday, during the evening reception, Dr. Goodnight and Jim Davis walked through the exhibit hall, greeting and chatting with customers. That was fun to see, with some customers getting out their cameras to snap a photo. I was tempted to take my little HD camera over there, but I suspect they were a little busy. But the reception was lovely and we appreciate the Caesar's employees who take the time to bring us appetizers in the publishing booth. It was much appreciated.

Although we didn't give away all the books in our Twitter giveaway, we did give away 3, and I was able to help one woman set herself up on Twitter, using tips shared with me by SAS Publishing's own Kirsten Hamstra and Shelly Goodin. We have another giveaway today, so we'll see how it goes.

So the final day of the conference has begun, and the network hall is starting to fill up, so I'll sign off now. I did realize this morning--to my dismay--that I've not been outside since Sunday. And I think that is just a little weird. Tomorrow I'll be posting my final blog from Las Vegas, as Halloween festivities will commence Friday night. I'll be back in Cary on Sunday, and I hope to post a wrap-up next week.

Viva Las Vegas!
