Looks like I will be coming in from Quebec City.

Some questions:

What is the time frame on an agenda?
Are you looking for people to run sessions, and if so what is necessary to be considered?
What are the benefits for teaching (other than LI bling)?

Some questions:

What is the time frame on an agenda?

It's being discussed and a few topics are in rough outline now. So details will be starting to emerge over the next month or two. I know that two speakers are lined up and a third is being spoken to that I know about.

@Minion-Queen for those of us who won't be needing a hotel is there a price difference, just an admission pass?

Minion Queen

The admissions pass will be the same price for everyone.

DustinB3403

@Minion-Queen Thank you for confirming!

Minion Queen

Admissions covers: 3 meals a day, snacks, coffee, tea, pop etc. and happy hour each day.

Pop is soda, to those of you from "everywhere but upstate NY."

If you do the "after event" wine trail, you could head back south from Ithaca and already be down south in NY.
