<div dir="ltr">Caryl, that is a cute infographic. If we can come up with the content you want to express, I can see if I can sweet-talk one of my LUG members into doing the art; she is good with that style and we have enough lead time that I might be able to fit it in her queue. Though the high school students I mentor are also great at drawing cute cartoons, so that's another avenue.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Sent from my HTC</div></div>

<p>Hi...</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I just came across this cute graphic on the CUE Los Angeles FB page. It is to help first-timers get the most out of next week's National CUE Conference in Palm Springs. Something similar could be made up and put in the program. Here is a link to the graphic: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/cue.losangeles/photos/rpp.164746903599002/1397805423626471/?type=3&theater" class="OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk194826" previewremoved="true">https://www.facebook.com/cue.losangeles/photos/rpp.164746903599002/1397805423626471/?type=3&theater</a> </p>

<div>I was just going for hitting more modalities with minimalist effort. In reality, before you arrive at a conference, you've at least somewhat locked in your plans and your schedule. I figure a talk at the conference might be too late for many newbies. So,
a video of said talk that you check out well before you attend would fit the bill. If someone wants to put together some short length videos on the subject, I would definitely support that idea.</div>

Gonna answer these in reverse.<br>
<br>
The SCALE 101 talk, like last year, was not well attended (about 15 people,<br>
including those that filtered in late), but the panel / Q&A portion was<br>
incredibly interactive, nearly everyone asked questions or commented, and<br>
nearly all of them either stayed late to thank me or found me later to do so.<br>
<br>
Ilan had a suggestion that we do this between the keynote and the first<br>
session, in the keynote room. It's a good suggestion, but we'd probably have<br>
to move the keynote slightly earlier to account for the panel, which I think<br>
is the magic of it all (since I think the breaks are only half hour).<br>
<br>
This would I think be more useful than stuff in the program which people don't<br>
read as it is.<br>
