Rob, it would be great if you could make stickers again. I meant to bring this up earlier but I've been swamped with other duties. Hopefully you can be reimbursed for it. Perhaps 500 stickers is enough for this event. I am going to place an order for sage business cards, but I was thinking of pe

On a related note: between now and the 2011 JMM is this summer's International Congress. The information about exhibits is in a PDF downloadable from here: http://www.icm2010.com/exh_manual.asp The smallest booth (6 m^2) runs about $3000, plus $25/day for internet access. My guess is that there

Marshall, Thanks for starting so *early* on this. I'm still recovering from the meetings that just ended. I got the same feeling from people I met in San Francisco that a booth would have been beneficial, so I think we shouldn't let another year go by without doing this. The one direct question
