This is closer to my recollection of the presentation.  I remember perking up at times and wishing I had more coffee.  It was the first time I heard tell of the manner in which AHB can take over a hive.  That's the piece of the presentation that caught my attention.  I'm too small potatoes and too far removed from the southwest to have appreciated the impact on the entire industry.  I believe it was in San Diego in 2001, although memory may not serve me well here, which is why I have not weighed in on the exchange.
