Impressive, on all counts. Your Princess comment is duly noted P'Dog. Here's hoping that Milka can out perform her this year.
Any chance they invited the Princess and she turned them down :) ?

Been there, done that. :) I was one of the keynote speakers last year at this conference. They asked me to speak again this year but I couldn't go because I had other commitments. Go to page 3 to see my photos from Malaysia:

It's a cool event and I still keep in touch with some of the women I met there last year.
