Picking up speed

Saturday at PMA featured an expo floor that was open for six and a half hours, not to mention the morning general session with Bryan Silbermann's state of the industry talk, assorted a.m. workshops and selected meetings in the afternoon. Each of us at The Packer has a list of about 100 booths to visit between the expo's start Saturday and its end Monday. By the end of the day Saturday, it took some effort to mentally reconstruct all the booths visited and business cards collected. Watched a little Kansas State football on ESPN2 last night (Wildcats roll!), so I put off a little writing until today. Haven't had a chance to see Cal and others from the discussion group yet but I'll see who I run into today.. This morning Lance Jungmeyer of The Packer will present the International Marketer of the Year award. More pics and observations about Silbermann's talk, food safety later.....
