Totally agree on branding. I still think we should emphasize Strategicon at
the expense of the other names, except locally. It still confuses the heck
out of people. Even our attendees can barely remember which is which.

Themes sound cool if they don't infringe on our ability to draw in events.
Unfortunately, that's pretty hard to do.
