Icebreaker Challenge

We are again using the fun and engaging JabberYak icebreaker buttons to help get us all talking!  Be on the lookout for an e-mail asking you to customize your button with 7 of your top interests - it's quick and simple. You can then start connecting with those who match before the conference. There will be an onsite human scavenger hunt to find others who match your interests, those who complete it will be entered to win a $100 Amazon gift card!
