BbWorld'09 begins for me today with a BIE meeting in the afternoon... and the conference is already day #2 for many of the preconference session presenters and participants.

It's great weather here in DC and the conference facilities are very nice.  I've already ran into many of my friends and contacts and it's great to see all of the enthusiasm and excitement.

For those of you unable to make it, several of us are doing what we can to share and capture our experiences here at the Gaylord National Hotel & Convention Center.

Be sure to stay tuned for podcasts, tweets, blogs, etc.

Here are a just a few of the sites with updates:

• Twitter Updates via #bbworld09
• BbWorld '09 Discussion Group via Connections
• Bb's Blog via blackboard.com
• Bb Connections via Connections

And finally if you are around this evening... join in on the volunteer event in which Blackboard has committed to donate $10,000 to support the Greater DC Cares’s ongoing educational efforts in DC public schools. 

See you at the conference... either face to face or virtually!
