What else have we got going?
Well, for those of you who have never been to one of the conferences, we=20=
have a half-day where we do what I=E2=80=99m calling =E2=80=9CNetworking =
Activities=E2=80=9D =E2=80=93 an=20
opportunity for you to spend some good quality time with your peers, away=
=20
from sessions, away from pressures. . . Many people have said that this o=

afternoon has been the highlight of their conference; that the people the=
y met=20
and the conversations they had while on the ferry around the San Juan Isl=
ands=20
(during the 2010 conference) changed their perspective and gave them idea=

to solve issues they didn=E2=80=99t even realize they had! Just an exampl=
e. . . Here=E2=80=99s=20
one of our organized activities this year (you can find all of them at=20=
http://www.resnetsymposium.org/resnet2012/conference-schedule/free-day-
activities/) :
>The Getty Museum is famous around the world for its art exhibits, its=20=
>architecture. . . A couple of our staff members who are very familiar wi=
th the=20
>Getty are going to escort you via a bus to the museum and let you wander=

So there=E2=80=99s a couple of quick spotlights =E2=80=93 one PDS (did yo=
