How did I miss this when it was posted?

Last years' event was highly recommended to me.  I couldn't attend because I only found out about it a week before the event.  I do plan to attend this year, and would recommend anyone who can afford to go to San Jose for a long weekend to do so.  I have met two girls here who said their epiphany came when they had to leave that magical weekend and return to drab.

Well, at least one of the surgeons on my short list will be there in person, and I can choose to avoid the marketing pitches...

Where there is a perceived need, there is money to be made!  I don't know that it is terribly different than wedding conventions and such.  I'll agree with you Steph, for many of us here, it is selling a dream. Most of us would rather save the money for something more important.
