Good to know. Thanks Peter.

While the workshops and the labs would be more interesting/fun, I think I would be attending for the presentations.

To Matt: Yeah it isn't cheap, but at least they offer a student discount. I assuming I'll have to foot the bill then get reimbursed from my employer. I do my own beer and wine (and know of people that hobby in harder alcohol too), so this poor student doesn't go thirsty :D.
