                  1. Looks like the #THATConference posts are starting to roll in. I'm **SO SAD** that I won't be there this year. (I'm "stuck" in NYC for a work thing.) Here's a list of things I'd do if I were there. If you're going, you should do them for me!

                  1. Run #THAT5k! I know it's early, but your body deserves a good run in the morning. You'll feel great for the rest of the day. Sometimes the fog sits in the farm fields and you get to enjoy views like this: @Cassieview/762755483086139393

                2. Attend #THATyoga! I am totally biased because my wife teaches it, but this is another thing your body deserves. I like the early-morning class, but they've added an "unplug and chill out" class on Monday night that looks nice. thatconference.com/sessions/session/14040

              3. Eat lunch with strangers. It's scary as hell. Even if you only do this once, you've done great. Picking a table is hard. Too few people and conversations won't happen. Too many, & it's likely you just sat down with a table of coworkers and are the odd one out.

            4. Go to open spaces. Lots of them. They're a great way to connect with others. Also, a great way to learn what **you** want to learn. Talks are guided by the speakers; open spaces are guided by you and the other attendees. This is huge.

          4b. If there's an open space named "Talk to a stranger," **DEFINITELY** go to that one. You might meet @jbeallurks, and he's really good at dad jokes. (For real though: that was my favorite open session last year. 10/10 would attend again.)

        5. *Host* an open space. This is the only way to guarantee a session on the _exact_ topic you're interested in. If you're scared to get up in front of the audience to announce your session, don't worry - you can put something on the schedule _after_ open spaces are kicked off.

      [5. host an open space cont.] You don't even need to know anything about the topic! Pick something you want to learn about, and experts will show up and teach you. This is how I got speaking advice from @CoryHouse, @reverentgeek, @dahlbyk, @Wright2Tweet, and @pcameronpresley.
