There were a lot of people, including several big wigs, who were not happy with the concept or change. It's been incredibly stressful, to the point that I was waking up a 2 am worrying about things and sending emails to myself and others to check on things.

Yesterday was the first day of the conference, and it was huge success. Everyone seems to really enjoy it. so, that is a huge weight off me.

At the same time, yesterday was only day one of the conference, and I am completely wiped from standing there working the voice. I'm not sure I can make it through two more days.
Presenting is a lot of work. Hours of talking and standing can take its toll, but its really the constant focus to keep peoples attention that's draining. Good luck.
