Personally, to benefit the members, I would like to see combining this conference with IPMA's international conference. Now a days, we wear so many hats that we would benefit from a broader conference. Our agency rotates the opportunity among staff members. This is an excellent conference for me. Please tell the speakers in advance how much time they will have and stick to it.
