:Hi Steve, 
 :# Noted on your comments about need for references before creating a SIEW 2011 section. Hence we will not do this at least until the official website itself is refreshed with more complete information. 
 :# If there are no issues with you, may I go ahead and delete the line on Panasonic before a sponsor in the 2010 section? Reason we'd like to delete it - sponsors not mentioned in the previous years, so we'd like to be consistent and as neutral as possible. (Aside: is this considered a minor edit that I can go ahead and make without bothering you?)  
 :# Thanks for being open to a compromise on the intro line. To make it a little more specific on the issues discussed at the conference (while trying to avoid ad speak), how about this: "SIEW is an annual week-long energy conference for businesses, industry experts, policy makers and academia to come together and discuss sustainable solutions for the global energy crisis." 
 :# Regarding photos, does it work to link to the official SIEW Flickr account, so that Wikipedia readers know where to go to view event photos? Or is the only way of putting photos on the Wiki page via uploading the photos on Wikimedia Commons? 
 :Once again, many thanks for your help and advice on this. )
