For the past 2 years I have gone to the symposiums on friday night. They are VERY informative and you get to hear all the big dogs in the business talk about how they do what they do so well. Even though I do not breed boas or bloods I was very interested in what was being said. If you can't make the party or the symposium I would definatley suggest going at least sat and sun. I dont know about you all but I cannot get around to every table in 1 day. (I also am a "show socialite" according to my BF so that may be my problem )
