That's what I heard. Sad, isn't it. I got to go to F2F when they had it in
Atlanta. I get more out of that because I'm trying to learn to work with my
fiber. I thought they said they would alternate it from west to east every
other year, but it hasn't happened. We are in our dreaded 4th year and things
are pretty bleak..
Well the Bible said "it came to pass", it did not say "It came to
stay"............

Hi Nancy...
There is absolutely no requirement to have a paid conference registration to
attend the National AOBA or ARI meeting. The most recent meetings were held
in the same hall that housed the vendors. Anyone, including the public, had
access to that area and there was no entrance checkpoint for the meeting.
No credentials were required for the area or the meeting, nor for that
entire building, for that matter. Beyond the tribute to Jodi Wever, you
didn't miss a lot.
