About that time of the year. I'm going for the first time this year.
Anybody else going, and would there be any interest in an SE-meetup?

I'm going, arriving late Sunday, and will be happy to meet up. It will be my first time, too.– Verbeia ModCommented Oct 7, 2015 at 21:41

Okay. I arrive Monday 5-ish. Let me look around and find something close. Try to shoot for Monday evening, maybe? @Verbeia– kaleCommented Oct 8, 2015 at 3:58

See above @PeterRoberge. iPhone app won't let me put more than one (at) reply in a comment.– kaleCommented Oct 8, 2015 at 3:59

@kale - sounds great. Maybe set up an event in the pathable site?– Verbeia ModCommented Oct 8, 2015 at 4:08

1@kale That link doesn't work for me -- it claims I don't have permission to view it. :-P– Brett ChampionCommented Oct 9, 2015 at 3:14

@BrettChampion I'm a pathable noob. I'll add you, but I don't see a way to make it public. Any ideas?– kaleCommented Oct 9, 2015 at 13:16

Cannot attend this year, but wish you a great conference! To go with AC/DC: have a drink on me 😊! With all the SE folks around this is bound to be fun event.– Yves KlettCommented Oct 9, 2015 at 17:04

Not this year. New kid and my back-up is having carpal tunnel surgery. Hopefully next year.– rcollyerCommented Oct 10, 2015 at 2:45

1Haha! That's the elusive @user21 in the middle front row. Great meeting everyone.– kaleCommented Oct 21, 2015 at 4:44

I think image processing using mathematica should allow us to guess user21's name from his name tag ;-)– chrisCommented Oct 21, 2015 at 13:08

So, why isn't @Brett in the picture? :) Commented Oct 21, 2015 at 18:00

@Anton, you should've asked for a retake! :) Commented Nov 5, 2015 at 12:24

@J.M. I became aware of my obscured presence in the chosen photo ten days after the conference. Commented Nov 5, 2015 at 18:30

@Anton, hopefully you can ensure that you're not eclipsed in the pictures this year. :) Commented Oct 10, 2016 at 5:35

Not really an answer, but since the Pathable site isn't all that conducive for a public meeting, here's where the meetup is planned:
StackExchange reserved table at Tuesday's lunch.
1501 S Neil St
Champaign, IL 61820
Tuesday, October 20th @ 12:00 pm CDT

Tue night is the WRI sponsored networking dinner, 6-9 - I'm attending. Any chance you can move this to Wed? - There's a closing gathering on Thur eve as well. Commented Oct 12, 2015 at 22:56

@kale are we set up for Wed? Please send me the invite too.– ZviovichCommented Oct 12, 2015 at 23:02

@alancalvitti There's a keynote dinner on Wednesday. Maybe we could do a meetup a little earlier on Tuesday at the expense of a session?– kaleCommented Oct 12, 2015 at 23:31

What about getting together for lunch 12-12:15pm any day?– ZviovichCommented Oct 13, 2015 at 11:51

@alancalvitti, Zviovich I've moved it to lunchtime on the 20th. Hopefully more people can attend then...– kaleCommented Oct 14, 2015 at 13:36

Sounds good. I'm in a session that finishes at noon on Tuesday so I may be a few mins late.– EdmundCommented Oct 19, 2015 at 19:22

1All, @brettchampion has reserved us a table in the ballroom for lunch on Tuesday. It'll have a StackExchange sign displayed.– kaleCommented Oct 19, 2015 at 19:55

Note comment, @Edmund. I'll update the meeting for the others.– kaleCommented Oct 19, 2015 at 19:56
Very proud to report that at least four of the 10 innovator awards went to Mma.SE members - congrats to kale, Paul Abbott and Philip Maymin (and me). If there are others amongst the winners please edit this answer.
I'd post pictures but this doesn't seem possible from a phone.
