You know life is pretty damn good when a fellow Padder **Denise Easton** gives you a big hug!

We had our closing "gala" last night, and I had fun 'hanging' with Denise and her friend Julia for a while.

Denise managed webcasts of the plenaries to interested professionals around the world who couldn't make it to the conference. Her company **U Live and Learn** provides companies, educators, consultants, organizations and individuals flexible solutions to their learning, training, knowledge-sharing and professional development needs.
