First, I need to apologize. I disappeared with no explanation. For that, I'm sorry. For those of you who follow me on Twitter, you'll know that the reason is that I have taken on a new role with a new organization, and like any new job, I've been slammed trying to get to know the ins and outs of the organization. For those of you who don't follow me on Twitter, my new role is with the team at [Conga](http://www.congamerge.com), and I couldn't be more thrilled. (And if you haven't read [Mike's post](http://buttonclickadmin.com/the-goal-is-the-journey/) about find the right organization, you should!)

On top of the new job, I've been doing an insane amount of prep work for [Dreamforce](http://forcebehindtheforce.com/dreamforce/). I unintentionally outdid my 2012 self, and am helping present in seven session this year at Dreamforce. On the upside, I'll be very easy to find this year (just come to one of my sessions).
With Dreamforce just over a week away, I wanted to share reminders of [what not to bring](http://forcebehindtheforce.com/2011/08/26/over-out/), and [where to find me](http://forcebehindtheforce.com/dreamforce/). I also wanted to remind you about [some handy tips](http://forcebehindtheforce.com/2013/07/19/gone-fishin/) for when you are going to be away from the office. And seriously don't forget to buy that backup charger for your phone!
I have some other great things in the works as well - posts that I'm excited about, an appearance on a fairly well-known podcast and a few other surprises at Dreamforce. For now, I just want to thank you all for continuing to read and I hope to meet you at Dreamforce!
