Reported by A. Matt Piazza in Seattle, Washington, USAThe Microsoft Office Project Conference 2007 moved from classroom to evening entertainment at the end of day one on 29 October in Seattle. All work and no play can produce less than the best learning environment, so conference attendees gathered at the Space Needle, nibbled on Halloween goodies and danced. Here are some images from the evening’s activities.
