Hm, this thread seems to be stuck a little bit. I am new here and I even don't use EMC until now. But a conference would be great for us to learn for our future projects. So please do it. :-) I know, contribution is the essence of the OpenSource world so what I could offer to support it is a location. We have a conference room for up to 50 persons (it could be split if necessary) and enough space to setup demonstrating machines. The big disadvantage of our location is, that we don't have own EMC machines. We are located in Berlin, what is always worth a visit. :-)
