Thanks for sharing the info. I hadn't taken the time to sit down a pick out my sessions. The Robert Powell one sounds great. I really enjoyed doing the software demo last year - the kids were totally engaged.

They are helping out at various reseller booths so you should see plenty of Activboards with big orange projectors!

I just did a presentation at the Logical Choice booth using ActivInspire and Dual User, That was fun!
