Hi Phil,

I would be willing to help with anything needed, hotel
contract,  etc. That being said it will be tough to do
with just 4-6 people on the ground. 

I like the ideas/theme you presented so far but as
Scott mentioned you would need at least one "keynote"
speaker. That can all be figured out later. the main
thing is if you can round up enough people that you
are certain you can count on. Once you have done this
multiply that number by .75 and you have the number of
people who will actually do it ;-).

Regards,
Larry
