Will we charge for the business day? My experience has been that the
more expensive it is, the more people you get :-) Make it free and
they won't believe you're serious. Make it E500 a pop, hold it in 
Jury's and put on a decent lunch, make all the presenters wear suits,
and market it as a serious affair, and we can all make some money :-)
It's called "selling out to crass commercialism" :-)

Dell would be good. I should be able to apply some pressure.
