Joao, thank you so much, that would be fantastic. I am traveling with one other colleague as well.

Please let me know what you need from me, I am planning on being in Porto on both the 6th and 7th.

I will definitely be posting my notes here, upon my return.

Wow, that event looks great, thanks much, I am really feeling good about staying put in Porto now. I am definitely going to check it out.

I am traveling to Portugal the first week in March. I will have Friday and Saturday (With and extremely early flight back on Sunday) open for personal time. I am staying in Porto.
