The answer is YES! Shortly after the November conference we will post the list and prices for all the recordings.

In the meantime, we recommend that you review the list of recordings from past conferences. There will be many
talks you will be eager to hear. You can listen in your car or at home and share them with others. Many of the talks are
worth hearing more than once. You can purchase the entire conference or individual talks. Depending on the talk, they
