About the Location
Both the entrance and parking is available in the parking garage below the building. Enter the tenant (not visitor)parking garage from the west side of the building, off of Howell St. (Street View: http://goo.gl/maps/9Cgz). Use the east elevators up to the 2nd floor, Suite 220 (just follow the posted signs). It's directly above Christie's. Follow the signs. NOTE: you can enter the building from the atrium door or the parking garage (not McKinney Ave). Make sure to use the EAST elevator shaft, or you won't find us.


This was very good. The presenters were excellent. I understand the time was fairly short. It would be great to have a follow up with even more actual implementation examples for discussion.
