I'm not registering until I see the list of presenters and topics.

Those who attend who are professional breeders from a University or one of the many companies that do so around the world have no problems with cost b'c with the University folks their grants pay for it and for the companies the companies pick up the tab.

That I know b'c I used to make presentations at the Amercican Microbiology Society Conferences and there were folks from many countries there and for sure my tab was picked up by grant money as well.

So I wouldn't expect to see any truly independent tomato breeders there unless they had spare cash or a wallet full of plastic cards, which I find unlikely, knowing some of those independent breeders, as many of us already know of.
