Intelligence Analsyis 05

My current "big" work project is marketing and managing the exhibit hall for the 2005 International Conference on Intelligence Analysis.  This is definitely an interesting gig, if for no other reason than the fact that I'm dealing with a lot of people involved with the government intelligence community rather than the private sector competitive intelligence people I normally deal with.

The conference is in two weeks, and it ought to be pretty interesting. Will update later.
