Wish there was still a virtual portion. I can't make it to Chicago.
Same! I ended up deep down the kitless rabbit hole as a result of Roger Nelson's virtual kitless turning seminar from last year - I thought the online gathering was terrific!

I will also echo the sentiment of the Virtual portion. It allowed some of us who are farther away to attend (even though I'm sure it is more fun to be there in person.) Looks like it is going to be a great event.

Just talked with him. He will be doing at least one live demo at the event.
I'm in canada with a couple young kids, i doubt I'll be in chicago area any time soon :(

come to think of it I don't know if i ever sent my feedback after last year's event, but if there's a way to record the sessions i'm sure a lot of us would pay a modest fee (say half the physical admission fee) to be able to at least watch the sessions!
