The first day of the iDate2007 conference went well.

I came dressed casually - everyone was in suits.... so I stood out a bit... fashion boo-boo perhaps... but what the heck.

Made some good contacts - spent some time talking to Shane from Userplane about some ways we can use UserPlane to better enhance some of your dating and community sites.

Food was good... good speeches and conversations - a good first day!
