Office 2.0 Conference...attending (and presenting) with a big smile on my face

Friend and fellow Irregular Ismael Ghalimi announced plans a few months ago to throw together a meeting/get-together surrounding the concept of Office 2.0. At the time I figured it might be a good excuse to head out West and touch base with some friends, colleagues and industry folks. But what I thought was going to be an intimate little gathering is now quickly becoming a tour de force; making it a compelling conference to attend for anyone interested in the way new technologies and the Web are empowering a re-thinking of enterprise productivity tools.
