Ben, Andrew and list: I see so little on CDR/GRR that I couldn't in good conscience recommend friends from the biochar community to submit anything. I include the membership lists in the various organizing and advisory panels, where you have many (maybe all) well known names - a few on ocean technologies, but none I think from the CDR earth-bio side.
Can you provide a sales pitch on why any person interested only in CDR/GGR (with examples for biochar) should want to attend? Two weeks ago, I was overwhelmed with what was new at a biochar conference. With four parallel sessions over 3 days, I missed over half of what went on. I now can't see your bringing in more than one or two panels of interest to me - not enough to justify the time and expense. Am I wrong? Hope I am.
