Dear Admin,
 
that sounds a good idea... but for those who are not in the USA (I'm in
AUS) it will be a bit difficult to find financing to attend the
conference...!  I would like to suggest if a similar conference could
be arranged using some of the web's technology without requiring us to
physically participate.  Not only could this be done at less cost, but
also more often...
 
What is it that you plan to do in the conference that would require
physical participation (except human interaction of course)?
 
Best regards,
 
David M
