Uh huh. It's those relationships and our conenvention interests that put you in the middle, no? They can't tell us what they think the convention will draw unles they have the keynote. And you have the contacts for those folks. We could tell proposers to propose based on "if they get so and so". Problem then is, if So and So turns us down, they have to redo the proposal and it might not become a proposal we don't want or one not as good as another we turned down.
