Bob-

have to wait until 2009 :-(

Some of you sessions look really interesting.  Any chance of getting 
access to the podcasts?

Thanks

For example, every two years, UC Davis hosts a 2.5 day security training conference for technical administrators (see  http://itsecuritysymposium.ucdavis.edu/). This is a break-even event, exclusive of staff time. The event this year hosts 50 security-related instructional labs and lectures and a registrant fee of $85.
