Do you have a breakdown of the schedule yet? I'm just wondering how much time to take off for it, all day every day or half days.

Is it possible to register for 1 or 2 individual presentations (as opposed to the entire event fee)?

T. ~ thanks for obtaining & providing this information.

I guess 'only one registration option' is an effective way to keep attendance levels on a more intimate scale.

I'd like to partake of a couple of these ... but can't (and won't) afford the entire registration fee for 1 or 2 sessions.

Makes me sad. I wish the organizers would have considered some additional options in these tough economic times.
