SWUGN Summit – Chennai

I’m leaving Saturday morning for the first SWUGN Summit to be held outside of North America.  Chennai, India is the location, and Kiran Srinivasan is the local group leader tasked with pulling most of the event together.  We’re expecting between 50 – 70 users at the event, and the lineup of presentations looks very interesting.

My first trip to India was an amazing experience (Bangalore, Chennai, Pune), and while I don’t get to stay as long this time, I expect it to be just as memorable.  Funny thing about this trip is that I’ll spend nearly as much time in the air – 41 hours round trip (not including airport time) as I will on the ground in India.  SeatGuru shows that I have power ports on all of my flights – looks like I’ll be able to get a bunch of work done.
