Start with it being held at Nashville, TN's Gaylord Opryland Resort and Conference Center, a massive indoor complex complete with restaurants, shopping, a "river" with boat tours, several promenades and walkways, whole quadrants of meeting rooms, practically an indoor rainforest and oh, we almost forgot — hotel rooms.
PeopleNet President Brian McLaughlin noted that this first combined TMW Systems-PeopleNet in.sight conference had required such a venue to accommodate all the attendees — when you're talking this size, the list of options gets pretty short. TMW President David Wangler said there were about 2,400 or so conference-goers, which wasn't surprising; both PeopleNet's and TMW's user conferences last year were large draws on their own.
Here are some scenes from around the conference and the exhibit hall, which featured more than 80 vendors.
