Just a quick update ... I'm in Washington, DC for the next three days for a great conference on infrastructure projects in Latin America.  The consulting firm that's organising the event took me on as a volunteer.  I'll be organising the private meetings between project companies and the investors, suppliers, and other interested parties.  Tomorrow night's reception is at the Inter-American Development Bank! This should turn out to be a fantastic learning experience and will definitely be a great networking opportunity.

Am staying with Nina Drakul's (IMBA '06) husband here.  He's been a great host so far - it is great to see a friendly face in this (somewhat) intimidating city.  Thanks so much Nina and Bojan!  Off to bed now, early day tomorrow (6AM!!) - I don't expect to see much of the cherry blossoms while I'm here!
