I think there are some copies of the book of abstracts left.  I will check 
and let you know how much they are and where you can get them.

The website is still current (not sure for how long) and if you go to it 
www.apimondia2007.com then click on ApiExpo, then go down the page, you will 
see the list of exhibitors and if you click on each you will get a summary 
of what they are about.  Not all submitted this resume.

The lady was Tatiana (if I have the spelling right).  Not like you to forget 
something as important as the Honey Queen Chris.

Yes the Ukraine did say they were going to bid for 2013.  Not being up with 
Apimondia politics, I would imagine that Mexico might also bid again for 
2013.  I wouldn't see them putting all that effort into the bid at Melbourne 
just to walk away and not bid again.
