Hi there, Carly,

Sorry you can't be at the Convention this 
year.  We don't have the capability of recording 
all of our sessions, but how 'bout this for an 
idea.  We can ask the presenters if they would 
send their handouts to those who could not 
attend.  At least you would get some of the info that way.

Please write in again--or write to me 
off-list--after the Convention, and we'll try to 
make that happen.  Let me know which 
presentations you're interested in, (though not all presenters use handouts).

Best wishes,
Carol
