Wednesday Highlights
It will be partly sunny today, with highs in the low 90's. There is a small chance of a shower. Sometimes it seems the forecast here never changes.
The final technical sessions are this morning and are followed by our closing plenary. If you need to checkout before the plenary, you can ask the bell stand to hold your bags for you. Remember to pack your bag with the Proceedings CD (a copy of every abstract and paper scheduled to be at this conference) that you received in your conference bag at registration. Also remember to complete and return the Conference evaluation, to let us know what worked right and where we need to improve.
Trips Home
Thank you for participating in SIGUCCS 2007! Your presence and efforts have made it a great conference. We hope your journeys home are safe and uneventful. Remember to thank those who sent you, share what you have learned, and to plan to attend next year.

Tuesday Recap
Sessions, sessions and more sessions packed Tuesday, with dessert during the fabulous Poster Session/Meet the Contributors event just after lunch. Many then strolled to Pleasure Island to enjoy dinner, music and friends. We began at the Rock 'n Roll Beach club and then spread out to other venues. Our photographers recorded the event, and pictures will arrive later.
