Chuck,
The attire on Friday afternoon/evening will be casual or business casual.

On Saturday it will be business casual or business, however you feel comfortable.

Event Attire

Chuck Cain — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 20:00:55 GMT

What is the attire for the various events?

Transportation

Thomas Opdyke — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 19:46:06 GMT

Good question, Chuck. There are buses lined up for Saturday night to transport us from Huntsman to the Westin. However, my understanding is that these buses will not be able to run if the SEPTA strike is still in effect on 11/14. We are hoping for a prompt resolution of the strike. The rest of the time we are on our own: public transport (if available), taxi, or even walking (20 blocks). Information on these options will be included in the information to be sent out next week.

Tom,

Is there transportation between the hotel and campus or are we on our own?

Hey! I am very excited to participate in the event and wanted to offer my contact information for any of the 80s or later era M&Ters who want to get in touch with either Susan (aka Susan Santo) or myself.

My cell phone number is 510 813-4880; and my blackberry email is (sabbanat@kpmg.com). For the curious, we are living well as an M&T team in the SF area. Susan is an architect with an SF firm and I am focused on "advisory product development and thought leadership" for a big accounting firm. The photo above is from a story about our home cooking from the local paper, which we love. We also make wine in our spare time.

Recently left the world of iBanking to join OpenPeak (a late stage consumer electronics startup). Loving the new lifestyle and workstyle... and look forward to many future endeavors (hopefully with other M&Ters!!!)

Recently moved to Florida for OpenPeak. Going to be hard leaving 80 degree weather in mid November :)

I get in late Friday afternoon so sadly no cheesesteaks for me (but great call on that!).

See you all in Philly - will be a wonderful weekend,
Alex

I will be arriving Friday morning. Anyone interested in a real Philly Cheese Steak sandwich for lunch? We could meet at the Westin lobby at 11:00 am and go from there.

Chuck Cain — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:35:45 GMT

Agree with Kathy. Good string to get started.

I live in Atlanta, GA and raising a 3 year old and 8 month old. I am in the executive search business (that many of you refer to as head hunting...I prefer body snatching). I work with companies from Fortune 50 to start-ups, with a great interest in private equity- and VC-backed companies. For fun, I've also started a practice in sports management search.

I will be arriving around 1pm at PHL, so probably 2:00-2:30 'til I get downtown. Would love to meet up with anyone that will be there that early...as the majority of my Philly connections are not around/available Friday. Let me know.

So happy you started this thread, Neil.

I'm also really looking forward to the event. Is anyone else going to be around Friday? I'll be arriving early to meet with some old friends, but if others will be around, shoot me a note and maybe we can meet up before some of the activities start.

I'm currently in NYC also, working at NBC Universal in their Local Media group. I've been managing our mobile properties as well as the Business Operations for the digital team. I'm always interested in new businesses poised for growth - looking forward to meeting some M&T entrepreneurs.

I also just got married a few weeks ago and am loving life post-wedding.

Can't wait to connect with old friends and make new ones!

Philly, here we come!

Only a couple weeks away. This should be a great event.

I'm living in NYC, managing a value based hedge fund, and helping to raise our two teenage daughters.

See you in Philly,

Neil

Chuck Cain — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 21:06:30 GMT

I think I'm getting in around 11am-12pm range. If anyone is coming in around the same time and want to share a taxi to the hotel, let me know.

30th anniversary "ride board"

Thomas Opdyke — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 19:07:58 GMT

Hi all,

We're 2 weeks away now, and I thought that I would post a virtual ride-board a la Houston Hall back in the day.

Whether you are interested in car pooling or simply taking the train/plane with other M&Ts as a way of maximizing your quality time with fellow alumni - here is the place to post your travel plans.

Make sure to choose the Category: Car pooling below, before submitting the post.

Bon voyage,

Tom
