Hey, everybody. I hope you’re getting excited about the convention, because I sure am. I’ll be arriving in Milwaukee one week from now!
Convention 2010 promises to be an exciting event. There will be a ton of cool exhibits and speakers, but what I’m really looking forward to are the social activities. Meeting cool new people is a great reason to attend. You’re bound to make new friends with people from all over the country at fun-filled events like Oktoberfest in June and Rumble at the Harley Davidson Museum. Heck, you might even win free registration to next year’s convention at the Harley.
Thanks to a generous sponsorship from AT&T there will even be a special off-site event for young adults at Comedy Sportz Milwaukee! This is an improv comedy club, but there will be CART (realtime captioning). I’m interested to see how it goes. I recently attended a “comedy sportz high school league” show my brother performed in. I didn’t understand a thing, but my parents said I wasn’t the only one. I’m sure it will be a challenge for a brave captionist.
See the convention page for all the fun stuff to do at and around the convention!
If for some unfortunate reason you can’t join us this year, you should definitely go to convention 2011. If you're a first-timer, like me, you can even apply for a scholarship for next year. Half a dozen young adults - myself included - are going on scholarships this year generously sponsored by CTIA- The Wireless Association. Applications for scholarships to convention 2011 should be available at the beginning of the year and have a deadline at the end of March.
Have a great week and I hope to meet you - yes YOU - in Milwaukee!
