WOW!  What a conference.  If you weren't there, you missed the opportunity to join over 900 other CAI members for a memorable event in Palm Springs.  The hotel was fantastic, the weather beautiful, the education sessions enlightening, and most importantly there were many opportunities to see old friends and make new ones.  Want to see and hear more, check out the conference blog put together by dedicated staffers Chris Durso and Christie Chapman at http://cai.blogharbor.com/ .

More than 100 vendors participated in the well-attended exhibit hall and with the help of our generous sponsors, we were able to put on a fabulous event for our members.  Let me give one more quick thanks to our sponsors:
