Has anyone attended the conference/symposium?  Thoughts?

I\'m planning to be at the Houston Leading Matters on Jan. 22, 2011.  I believe there are only three left in the whole series--DC in mid-Nov. 2010, Houston in Jan. 2011, and Portland in May 2011.

Just putting it out there--if you haven\'t been, you may want to go, and there aren\'t many left.

I went to the most recent one in the Bay Area in May (at least I think it was May).

I enjoyed it, most of the talks I went to were interesting (one was not so I slipped out during it).  The food and drinks were all good, the appetizers/drinks before dinner were great as you could talk with lots of different people.  The dinner was nice, got to reconnect with one of my dormates who I had not seen in almost 30 years.  The post-dinner program became a bit of a marketing pitch about how great Stanford and how important your support is, but it was not unbearable.

Overall I\'m glad I went.
