I wanted to let everyone know about a very exciting web design conference Kathie Ross and I are attending next week in Miami, Florida. Internet Retailer is having their FIRST conference focusing on WEB DESIGN, "Designing Web Sites that Sizzle - And Sell!" For two solid days we will fill our heads with the ideas and perspectives of some of the most prominent web designers and marketers in the country. There will be 33 speakers in all including Keynote Speakers Debbie Kristofferson, Vice President, User Experience, Walmart.com and Darrell Porcher, Director, Web Development of Sony Electronics' SonyStyle.com. For more information about the conference, visit http://www.internetretailer.com/IRWD08/.

Since Kathie and I will both be attending, if you need to reach us during this time just email us and we'll be checking periodically. I figured we would need two brains to take in all that is being said. When we return, we will make a presentation to our staff - maybe order in some lunch too! Should it be Indian or Chinese food? You guys let me know.

OK, back to work so we'll be ready to go! Check back in next week as I'll try to update everyone about the conference while we're there. Stay tuned!
