Powerpoint presentations for the three convention biz-stream sessions -- "Emergency Preparedness and Disaster Recovery," "Rate Card Modeling: Beyond Discounts," and "The Wireless Web: Another Platform for Alt-Weekly Listings?" -- are now available for download from the AAN Library.

That's a 12 percent increase over 2004's convention registration total of 484. More than a quarter of this year's attendees received a complimentary registration, including 51 classified managers and 57 beneficiaries of our third-registration-for-free program. There were also 50 exhibitors in 29 booths. Note to the Advice Goddess: The dog has to pay next year.
