In 2 days I’ll be flying out to Seattle for NACAC08.  Thanks to the awesome team at Zinch.com, I will be joining them and my Butler colleagues for the conference.  As a member of the Zinch Advisory Board I’ll be spending lots of time with the crew and getting to know them better, and helping out with a training session as an admission officer who uses the site.

Are you going to be in Seattle for NACAC08?  Let’s meet up!! Email me (bradjward at gmail dot com) or @bradjward me on Twitter.

If you’ll be there and you use Twitter, tag your tweets with #nacac08 and I will compile them at http://tweetfeed.com/bradjward/nacac08.

If you’ll be there and you use Flickr, add your pictures to the NACAC08 Pool at http://flickr.com/groups/867772@N20/.

If you’ll be there and you’re in the Exhibitor Hall, stop by Booth 133 or 1309, where I’ll be hanging out a lot.
