It’s not going to stop me from coming down but it does stink that this will be right in the middle of MLB playoffs.

Awesome! I’m definitely going, and its not a bad drive from Chicago. This will be my first one, too. Last year I just couldn’t swing it, but this year it is locked in. Thanks for the early announcement of the dates.

Kevin, Thanks for your input. We do send out a survey to attendees after each conference to gather feedback on the speakers they’ve just seen, as well as space to make suggestions for additional speakers, and we pay close attention to those. While it’s too late this year to pull together a similar form for magazine subscribers who were unable to attend the previous conference, perhaps we can do that for next year. (We need to book folks ASAP – I know 2013 calendars are already filling up fast!).

Concerning a hands-on session or two, we are again trying to develop a plan to make that work logistically in a way that allows a large number of people to participate – not promising we can pull it off, but I can promise we’re trying.

Other names to consider for the event are Norm Abrams and Ron Herman, Brian Boggs, Don Williams, Peter Fallansbee and David Charlesworth. Is there any possibility the organizers could put a list of names together with a brief bio and area of expertise, then have subscribers and former attendees vote on the names.

I have been to a couple of WIA Conference and I really enjoyed the first conference in Berea, I found the hands on sessions were worth more than the lectures, is there any chance the next WIA will return to this format or include some hands on sessions again. Thanks

Megan, I do not know if I am happier for the return to Kentucky or the return of just one show. Either way,from my standpoint this is wonderful. Thank you very much. Fred

As someone who lives 5 miles from the Pasadena convention center I have to say: major bummer!! Oh well. Maybe next year.
