IDSA Mideast District Conf 2011: Thoughts or Comments?

yea, good times. Met some good folks, and re-connected with some old classmates.
interesting mix of speakers too, definetly worth my time.
is what I learned worth the money? considering the speakers aren’t getting paid and need not to give any competitive advantages away…so I’d have to say the value is inspirational. and there were some very inspiring speaches.
