Can I suggest that whoever will attend this conference and meetings, please collaberate and post some trip report on this forum.
Expert, how about create a new section called ISEIT (not just for USA), where questions can be posted and trip report, session attendance notes (if you want to share) also.
Not all of us can attend the meetings and I for one, would like to know a little what is going on. With this forum, and user postings, we may virtually attend the UK ISEIT as well as the one in USA.
