Count down begins - Questions for CFUnited Attendees

Less than two weeks away! Everyone's getting excited. You've probably booked your flight, pulled out the luggage from the closet, dusted off the old CFUnited bookbag from 2006, wrote down what your away message will read, read up on where to eat in DC, and printed up your scheduler printout for the 10th time.

Answer any number of these questions for us on your own blog. We love to hear what people are thinking. We've been working for you and can't wait to see everything come together.

***************************

What are you looking forward to most?

Which speaker will most likely end up on your camera?

What do you plan to do outside conference time? (Clubbing/Bar Hopping, DC Tour, DC dinner cruise, Museum, Fine dining, Live Band shows, etc.)

Fill in the blank: I will mainly be around the ______ booth.

Do you have a new project you are working on and will reveal it at CFUnited?

***********************************

Thanks. See you in a couple weeks!
