I'm travelling around the block to a conference.

It kind of feels against my religion to attend a conference that's around the block from my house. What about the air travel? The lost luggage? The painful shoes walking all over an unfamiliar city? The massive hangover.

And yet, I'm attending Future Midwest this Friday and Saturday.

FutureMidwest is the region’s largest two-day technology and knowledge conference taking place in Royal Oak, Mich. April 16 – 17, 2010. Founded by Adrian Pittman, Jordan Wolfe and Zach Lipson, FutureMidwest is the fusion of two successful conferences held in Michigan in 2009 – the Module Midwest Digital Conference and TechNow.

Both conferences highlighted how technology and digital tools have dramatically changed the way we do business and the effect this transition has had on companies. FutureMidwest kicks things up a notch with presentations, group breakout sessions, relationship-building opportunities and influencers who are taking action to redefine business in the digital age.

I think you should come too.

If you do come, please say hello. I'll be the lone Mommy Blogger trying to explain exactly what it is I do while eyes glaze over.

It'll be fun!

I'll be there too, at least on Friday (and Black Finn on Thursday). I believe I'll be greeting people at the door Friday morning but I'm not yet sure of my volunteer duties.

Not only will I be there, but I will be volunteering on tech setup. Please feel free to find me on Friday or Saturday!
