Conference Faces
Where's Waldo?
Is this heaven?
No, it's Jekyll Island.
The exhibitors aren't bad either.
Everybody Conga!
Sittin by the dock of the bay...
Is this the line for the cheese?
So what brings you to this nape of the woods?
Hi! Is this the life or what?
A little food, a little wine, a little dance. What more could you ask for?
May I have your autograph please?
It just doesn't taste like a regular iced tea.
Oh, this is the conference we've been looking for.
Top of the morning to you.
Can I have some of that cheesecake please?
Pink is my signature color.
I can't wait to play in the sand.
I wish work really was this much fun.
I'm Luke Skywalker. I'm here to rescue you.
It was always easy to spot the tech support folks.
What's up with all the lime green shirts?
We love this conference. I mean we really love this conference.
