third Educon and it is a conference I love. I am facilitating a conversation
on "Filter Failure - Getting to the Good stuff" a discussion about
strategies for managing information overload.
There is lots of time to check in and meet people - particularly at lunches.
On Friday night there is a reception at the Science museum and on Saturday
night they have Philly Cheese steaks at SLA and then they reserve a private
room at a local bar for people to socialize. If you want to organize a
dinner - Last year we all met on Friday evening at Friday's Restaurant at
about 5pm (which is down the street from the hotel).
I created an educon Twitter list here:

Please let me know if you would like me to add you to it.
Looking forward to seeing lots of you there.
