I would love to get together with the "regulars" in the Buyer's Forum. I'm not as active replier as others (kudos for those of you who are) but do read it daily. I would be nice to put faces with the names. If we can get a group together, I would love to be included.

We should definitely arrange something... I tried to look for names I recognized last year, but never saw anyone. Let's plan dinner one night or something...

Count me in! If you need help on this end, let me know. There are some really nice restaurants in the hotel, if anyone has issues about traveling.
Really nice restaurants.

I kinda like Benihana. Not only do you get dinner and a show, but it's easier to get a big table for everyone.

Mike, can we extend some invitations to sponsor our get together at Benihana to one or more than one companies? If you agree to post their logo as an advertisement to the forum webpage and provide them with the number of daily hits that this page gets, they might be willing to provide the funds. Plus, I am sure they will be there to create the one on one contacts with us.

I think the Benihana's looks like a good idea. It would be nice to get someone wlse to pay, but I am more than willing to pay for myself. Look forward to meeting all of you.

Garden of the Dragon looks yummy... (and they say they can manage groups)

Is any company have a party or dinner Monday night? We could do it then, that way we get to know each other's faces and can see each other the rest of the week.

Hello guys,
this sounds great. I didn't see anyone mentioned who's paying for this get together thing. I got a feeling one of the Manufacture Company will love to help out.

That's what I'm thinking.... although then they'd be there, and it might not be as casual/open.

Another option is we can go dutch, either way. Any other restaurant suggestions?
