Exactly it is black and white that is why it is so important. We have more
ways to promote interaction other than conferencing than ever in history-why
are we using this
expensive method which takes jobs and detracts from our ability to address
the research?
Communication is communication- all the things you mention can be generated
by electronic communication-its easy-
It is like people are insisting that we put our postal mail back on horses
and stage coaches because it feels better- terrible foundation for the
argument for communication!

That's your black and white argument. I think the flip side being that
attendance at conferences generates new ideas, enthusiasm, and professional
contacts, all of which lead to funding and preservation opportunities, and
if I enjoy myself, regardless of the personal finical decisions I make to
attend a conference (locally or internationally), so much the better. VTCs
are another option, happen frequently where I work, and are often employed
in conjunction with professional meetings. The point of my message was to be
supportive of a peer charged with the task of promoting an important
conference. Kimberly
