Re: Fw: AGA 2004

I've got no idea what other organizations do.  I've never been involved with
any other "national" convention.  At NEC, the organizers set their budget,
then see what "mix" of speakers they can afford to stay within budget.

And, of course, I'd be _happy_ to share the contact information for speakers
with any of these folks, but they all seem to want me to talk to
them,because they think there's a better chance that they'll say yes.  That
may or may not be true, but if it _is_ true, I sure don't want to abuse it.
