There is much to do. Still, I'm not really a people person. It's actually draining for me to stand around talking to complete strangers long enough to get the information or contact I seek. Years ago when I worked in the Registrar's Office, I would usually skip out on the social events at various conferences. It was stupid for me to miss out on the opportunities provided by networking, even if it wipes me out.
Summit conferences are different in another way.
The University is sending 25 people to Summit again this year. This conference is an incredible opportunity for Banner users around campus to talk business and have a little fun. We'll all be going out to dinner together on Monday, and it should be a blast. Of course going to the conference means that I'm going to miss Jean and Colette. I'll miss Colette's first day at the Goddard School, since Jean is dropping her off on Monday before heading into the office.
