I would really like to go but if I do I would have to take the days as unpaid time off + the costs of the conference. That's one downside in going from a big company to a very small one. I had hoped I would be able to present at the conference since I'm very proud of what I've been working on for the last 4 years and even more, all the awesome work you guys have done.
Nick, if you are the only one who can attend I am confident you will do a great job. If you would like any information to include in the presentation I would be happy to help.
