Seriously, the clock is ticking and you should be in your car or a plane for PASS Summit by now. If you haven’t registered yet, you’re past cutting it close. Click the banner and do the deed, then get over to the convention center.
In the spirit of all of the posts from the previous weeks (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5), let’s have a video to go with this week’s post. Because, we just need to hold on for one more day…
My PASS Schedule
In the spirit of networking and trying to figure out what I want to see next week, I’ve included the schedule that I’m planning to keep for PASS this year. I put this together using PASS’s Schedule Builder that I discussed in a previous post. I encourage you to go out and put your schedule together. Also, if the videos from this series have inspired you and you want to connect, these will help you track me down.
