This was the first full day of the conference and it was full of exciting shows and sessions. This podcast is not as long as yesterday's because I had more time to sit with friends to chat whereas today was more of attending events. This shorter podcast contains more comments and "registrant reactions" to the sessions.
The Opening Session was phenomenal and the sessions were good too but the international close-up show was outstanding featuring: Johan Stahl from Sweden, Simon Coronel from Australia, Denis Behr from Germany, Steve Valentine from the U.K , and Yann Frisch (FISM Winner) from France.

00:00:08 - Rory Johnson, co-producer with Stan Allen, introduced the opening session and laid the theme of this year's event...Friends.
