I recently attended another conference and Dr. Attwood was the speaker. Unfortunately I was unable to meet him personally as he was not available for the "Meet the Speaker Breaks". In fairness, he was tired from travelling and giving conferences for a week, so this is understandable. He was one of the most entertaining speakers I have seen on AS, as well as knowing what he is talking about. I did meet Mr. Gilpin, the president of the Future Horizons organization, which sponsored the event.

I wanted to go to Tony Attwood's conference in Seattle, but my sister said that I had to stay back and watch my nephew; I didn't even get paid for it yet! lol I committed to it before, but I thought that I'd be able to go, since my mom and I were looking forward to it all summer. Anyways, I've heard good things about him, about how he's such a good speaker and what-not. I'll probably be able to see him next year if he does a conference nearby; if my mom lets me of course. I haven't heard of Dr. Gilpin; he must be a good doctor too.

I was going to see him in Copenhagen but it was cancelled because not enough people was attending. Sigh! :(

I don't know how long it's going to be until he's in Seattle again; hopefully next year my mom and I will go to one of his conferences.

Why does not he (and other proffesionals wo holds conferences) make videoes and spread p2p?

Edit: he acutally has made several videos. Do anyone else than me think that theese people should spread it p2p if they really were into spreading information to the more people the better (and not only people who want to pay for it).

Wow lucky you.

He came to Sacramento a few months ago. I was going to see him, but it interfered with school so I couldn't go.
