I too am unable to attend. I have to decide between this or HP World. However, I
would be willing to attend a satellite feed to the HP office located in Atlanta.

The agendas are supposed to be up on a web site shortly.

This is an excellent suggestion.  This year's SIG/3000 format of being held
at HP with all activities taking place in one room (single tracked) would
make it much more practical to do some form of broadcast I would think.  And
as Joseph points out, the room we're using is already fully wired for this
sort of thing.

I don't know if we could get HP to contribute the cost of their people's
time and the satellite time to do a real interactive broadcast out to the
various field offices, but it's certainly worth investigating.

A simpler option might be to try to webcast the event, though I've not
personally witnessed a webcast that was particularly satisfying.
