Obviously, the "Q" part of HPQ and Encompass are the reasons for these
sessions.

Of course I know about these. I've been to some. But there is a very
important distinction. Those events were put on by HP separate from the
HPWorld Conference and were by invitation only. The NDA sessions I am
talking about this year are being held AS PART OF HPWORLD; in fact, once you
sign your life away, the sessions will even appear to you at the HPWorld web
site.
