Interested in DC area IA meet up?
Posted Thursday, March 27, 7:28AMWould DC locals (DCIA) be interested in meeting up at the Summit? If there is enough interest, I will help arrange something. (Not exclusive to DC peeps! If you'd like to join us, I will post meet up place in this comment thread.)
First step, when would this meet up work best with your schedule?
Friday dinner
Saturday Breakfast
Saturday Lunch

Suggest another time.
Sat or Sun breakfasts sound best for me. But I can also do a Fri, Sat, or Sun dinner after 8pm.
I agree with Stacy, a breakfast would work great.
Ohhh, breakfast sounds good, Saturday or Sunday or Monday. If Dan Brown and James Melzer are to come, I wonder if excellent coffee and free wi-fi are prerequisites? ;)
I can do breakfast on Sat or Sun.
Breakfast sounds good - I'd prefer Sunday or Monday
I too would vote for a Sunday or Monday breakfast.
Yes breakfast does sounds good. I don't feel strongly about the wi-fi, but I am going to be a stickler about the coffee.
Sounds like the majority wants breakfast. I would like to come too.
When and what time? I will be coming from another hotel. We need to see if the Hyatt has more than one breakfast place.
Unless someone is familiar with the hotel/area, let's plan to scope out places for breakfast when we get there. It looks like our breakfast will be either Sunday or Monday.
James, please let us know where to find good coffee!
I'm down for having breakfast with you guys too. As I haven't really met any of you yet! However, I have a native Miamian friend who lives 20 mins from hotel, whom I just called, so if he calls me back soon I'll give you guys a good recommendation.
See you there,
Jenny
Breakfast is my favorite food group. I'll also check with a local for a good rec, it would be nice to get out of the hotel air if we can find a local joint (that can accommodate a buncha people). I vote for Sunday.

Breakfast on Sunday or Monday is fine with me. Thanks for organizing this.

Breakfast on any of those days is fine with me. Thanks for organizing this.

If you guys need a place to eat check out Eric Reiss' IA Miami Guide if you haven't already ... http://www.iasummit.org/2008/news.html
Breakfast any day!
Ok, let's get some details down so we can plan ahead. Here are some suggestions, let's see if they work...
Can we settle for SUNDAY?
7:30 am - meet at Hyatt lobby? (if going to another place)
7:45 - 8:45 am Breakfast at Riverwalk Cafe (Hyatt)?
9:00 am – 5:15 pm Conference
Is breakfast included with the room rates?
Is there a place to eat at a walking distance?
Can we eat at the Hyatt to avoid transportation and delays?
Yummm! Breakfast! I'm good with any day. :)
Sunday seems to be the most popular. I like Adriana's suggestion of:
7:30 am - meet at Hyatt lobby.
7:45 - 8:45 am Eat.
Is there a continental breakfast or should we plan to eat Breakfast at Riverwalk Cafe (Hyatt)?
Washington, DC metro area meeting - Sunday breakfast. Meet 7:30 at the Hyatt. Just bring this up to to confirm it.
I'm in! I'm no longer physically in DC - just virtually. A virtual presence has many advantages : ) I want real pancakes though.
I'm in
I'm new to DC and would love to meet others. Count me in!
See you there!
