I enjoy the conferences, though I only go in the summer to Jerusalem, and 
it's an hour's trip from my home, and that's when the connections are 
good.  I usually give myself double the time.  There are neither 
conferences, nor suitable hishtlmuyot any closer.  I took the NBA in 
Jerusalem, when I read about it on ETNI.  My school got a notice that we 
were supposed to go to Maale Adumim.  No way.  Most of Mateh Binyamin  is 
too far from and not at all connected to that city, which I have no way to 
visit.  I don't have a car, and my buses don't go there.

This past summer I very proudly stopped taking handouts from the 
sessions.  I realized that I never look at them again, and the clutter at 
home is too much.  So when I gave a workshop I told people to take notes 
and participate.  Maybe it's just my "learning style," but I never benefit 
from power point presentations.  My favorite lecture prop is the giant pad 
and marker, or writing board--they're no longer black.  Also nothing beats 
taking notes, even if I throw them out afterwards.

IMHO the best thing about the conferences is the informal networking, and 
that's why I suggested that our f2f be a networking session.  Let's do it 
again; I think that everyone was pleased.

Shavua Tov and Chodesh Tov,
