Steve and James asked about video tapes of the conference: Last year we discussed the idea of selling video tapes of the convention, and the committee made he decision not to because we didn't want to take away from people attending the convention itself. I think that when the convention is big enough and on solid enough financial footing that we can revisit this issue. For those who are not aware of it, ALL of the speakers last year not only donated their time, but also paid their own way to the convention. The convention did a little better than break even based on that, and as a first time event, we all felt that it was a terrific success. I'll pass it on to the Steering Committee that members have brought the issue of selling video tapes up again...but I can't promise what the result will be. In the mean time, the more people who decide to come and enjoy the event in person (and I wouldn't have missed it for the world!) and the more people who participate in the auction, both by bringing plants AND by bidding on them, the better chance we have of making these conventions a permanent, self-sustaining annual event.
