We've had a private offer to help subsidize travel,
If the Conf is held in Minneapolis/St. Paul, I will offer to rent a minivan for the event. So "some" ground transportation I can cover, do pick up's at airport, return trip's to the airport.. Taxi to the clubs at night as well <g>.
I plan to arrive a day early and stay over a extra day as well. Anyone care to visit there little Mall? :P
