In short, we'll have the EPS run the conference, with international

Very nice!
An example of institutional knowledge getting somewhat lost is the
duration of conference thing I recently talked about -- when I did the
research on how the change happened, it's all a very logical step taken
year on year based on the previous year's conference, and at least some
people seemed not aware that it'd been 3 days for years before then.
Of course that's hardly a serious case, but I do think that
institutional knowledge you have more overview and therefore better
ability to step back and take stock once every while.
