I don't have much opportunity to go to many shows, even domestic (money mainly), so pardon my ignorance on the video; I had no idea. I just thought the binder was a nifty idea, and I still sift through mine sometimes. It still remains a matter of preference in that it's easier for me (at least) to scan the printed page, rather than a mostly static image of a person standing behind a podium or in front of a screen, unless the slides were shown at the same time somehow.
However, there's still time to arrange for at least a print version of the presentations. It seems to me that print this year would be better than waiting until next year for video.
