Live weblinks for keynotes and select workshop strands might be an option for remote participation. Don't know if they have started using this technology yet or not with the national conference.

I hear it too many times from adults and I always remind them not to do so. My teaching certificate used to have that on it; changed a few years ago thank goodness.

I wish the Convention would go back to the 1st week of April; Spring Break. I can't come and sure miss it.
