Glad you'll be able to make it. The major point still holds, though--I expect most attendees will drive less than 90 minutes for this particular conference and not stay overnight.

I'm not sure about other libraries or librarians. My experience has been, even if a conference is free and the library is paying for you to go there are still travel expenses, hotels rooms, food etc. So while there might not be any registration fees there are still funds involved. If it's the botton line that adiminstration is looking at it might not make much difference if it's a Free Conference or not. Of course I wont presume to understate the thought process of administration :) I’ll be there representing Missouri.
