conference announcement

[Daryn McKenny]

David,

You summed this up perfectly, presenters were handpicked, I was asked to present but refused to as their target audience was too select and of course what community person could ever afford those astronomical fees.

Regards

Thanks for this Margaret, first I'd heard of it.  Do you know if they 
had a call for papers?

I emailed the address you provided and received a reply this morning 
with a PDF brochure (no URL); I've now found the brochure is at 
http://www.tonkincorporation.com/images/Eureka/ALIABrochure.pdf, 
linked from http://www.tonkincorporation.com/?m=5&id=636&t=14

On page 4 of the brochure the prices are tabulated; the range is from 
$2748.90 to $4288.90 ...  I guess it includes accommodation; I don't 
see a price without accommodation, or a day rate perhaps they do 
allow this if oine inquires).

As much as some of the speakers and titles are attractive, the 
overall picture seems to be a business model tapping into well-padded 
expense accounts.
