Hi, Roger. If I do go to the CASDW conference, I will most definitely pay for and stay an extra day to be part of an Inkshed gathering. Where does one find detailed information about the CASDW conference, though? I went to the link on the CASDW homepage and found dates and a location - nothing more.
