Re: Meeting Up in San Antonio NEXT WEEK!

Paula,
As far as "meeting up" you will always find some of us at the booth so remember that. We are hard to miss. And usually be the "day of" we know what we are going to at night or split up (depending on interests, etc.) to go to different things. But just about everyone always goes to the Mentor sessions- you will not want to miss any of those.

Re: Meeting Up in San Antonio NEXT WEEK!

Thanks Paula. The conference organizer is good at putting out the info we need.

However, for those of us in the HER2 group, we can share a cab and it will be cheaper than that shuttle. I have the arrival times of everyone and will let you know who to look for to share with. You also get to come directly to our hotel instead of stopping all over town to let others out.

It looks like three of us can leave in the same cab together on Saturday.

Paula, you may see if you can find people in Project Lead to share cabs with, unless you are arriving on Monday and then could share a cab with us.
