I'm not a big gambler, but I do have a free room for Sunday night, and Monday too if I wanted to stay that long. What's making me hesitate is the $200 registration fee for the conference. I'm more interested in meeting MSC owners and networking than in taking classes on video, although I'm sure they're great... as a non-IMSC member, I haven't heard about which MSCs will be there, other than Clear Evaluations. Can someone post a roster, or is that allowed?
