Me too (not a teacher, just can't make June). I really wish the convention was not in the same time slot every year - works for some people, but for those who it doesn't work for, you just never get the chance. I still don't see why we have to have dates that suit some people but not others.

The overall attendance may not change, but with different people having a chance to attend, you may widen the number of different people that come over a period of a few years and thus increase the membership base a little along the way?
