I noticed the Our World-Underwater website changed this morning. It appears to have been completely redesigned. Most visitor pages are "Coming Soon" as I'd expect, but the Exhibitor and General pages have content.

Looks like Darrick and I better get a booth ASAP...they're already filling up!

I'm curious what everyone thinks on these two questions:
1. What do you think about the new OW-U website?

Personally, I think it's very clean, refreshing and inviting. I love the Chicago skyline and the use of colors. Very easy to navigate.

2. Take a look at the interactive floor plan.

For those of you who attended OW-U two months ago, where do you think the best booth locations are and why?

Personally, I liked where we were located last year (booth 115 for the new floor plan), but a lot of people think the center area up front is best (see what's already reserved). Does the end row help ensure people will walk down and see you more? When you're located in the middle where there's a lot of booths, I could expect your booth getting overlooked very easily. Thoughts?
