Departed for Atlanta at 5:30 with one fly back. The drive to Atlanta began in the wee hours of the morning with full moon lighting the sky! The drive was uneventful, nice and easy 6 and ½ hours and we were loading into the convention center. Well, first Oli went to the hotel to pick up our client to give him a ride in the time machine.
We are representing RelWare, a medical software firm whose slogan for this show is Road Map to the Future. The show opens March 1st and runs through March 3rd.
The RelWare booth is a popular stop. (If you're a fan of Back to the Future, you'll notice the number of the aisle we're on, and it's significance!) This number keeps popping up, almost everywhere we go, from hotel room numbers, fast food receipts, etc. We have taken a lot of photos of attendees and exhibitors with the car. Being a medical show we have met some very interesting people, one gentleman from London stopped to tell us about his company’s experimental work with strobeing eyeglasses, that help PD patience walk easier.
RelWare has been kind enough to let us fund raise at the show. Dan asked if we had a LARGER sign to place on the car during the show, and we said 'Why yes we do!' It is touching when someone sees the car from across the isle and then reads the signs and then donates. One fellow shared with us that his father is suffering from PD and that he really appreciated what tothefuture.org was doing. I told him that he just helped to find a cure!
He’ll help even more: for his 40th birthday he plans to run the NY Marathon. He’s not a runner, but he’ll train and run with MJFF to show his support. Happy Birthday!!
