DDW Day 2…

DDW places all of the not-for-profit booths in "Foundation Row", which sounds like a good idea. Reality is slightly different however because we're tucked back in a far corner of the exhibit hall and consequently haven't had a lot of traffic. The event has been a great opportunity for us to meet with current and potential sponsors, which has been excellent, but the walk-up traffic has been sparse.

That's not to say that there hasn't been any excitement. At about 2pm there was a very loud bang that shook the convention center pretty good. I thought it might be someone hitting the building (we're near the loading dock), but it turns out that I was very wrong. The Hilton is directly across the street from our booth, but we were never in any danger. Fortunately no one was killed, though there were several workers seriously injured, our thoughts and prayers go out to them.

On a happier note GYGIG has some fantastic sponsors and one of our Presenting Sponsors, the great folks at UCB were kind enough to invite us to a wine and cheese reception they were having tonight. It was an excellent opportunity for us to network a little bit and get to know some of their team members a little better. It was a lot of fun (and pretty excellent wine and food too).

Pictures were taken today so as soon as we get them loaded on to a machine I'll get some posted, till then here are the updated totals – 3hrs 4mins (6hrs 6mins) / 43.71 miles (83.75) / 81rpm / 131bpm.
