A wrap-up of our Friends Talks in 2007...
As another year draws to a close, we would like to extend our appreciation to all our 'Speakers' who kept us entertained and informed over 2007. We hope to bring you another jam-packed schedule for our regular Conférence / Tok Tok / Talks in 2008 - of course, if you would like to send us a recommendation for a potential Speaker, we would love to hear from you.
