I pass the 'am-i-covered-in-baby-vomit-or-worse' door check, acquire a large coffee and and head down to the Poster Sessions.
Next up is the excellent Collaborative Ventures, Collaborative Gains, which proved to be a really concentrated fireball of the conference theme.
Last, but by no means least was the simultaneously invigorating and enervating Paving the way for an Uncertain Future.
While true of all conference events, these latter sessions were particularly excellent opportunities to see the profession's top brains moving beyond issues of survival, instead outlining new standards of excellence in the contemporary landscape of information use and technologies.
