[CIMC-work] Madison conference info

[Mitchell Szczepanczyk]

I have already bought a ticket for the conference (I'll probably be going 
as a CMA rep).

I plan to take a head-count at tomorrow's CMA meeting as to who among CMA 
folk will be attending the conference.  I'll let you know the results.

Bob McChesney has emailed me saying he is hoping for a sizeable Chicago
contingent at the conference.
