The one big-name speaker sounds good. I was actually thinking along those lines this morning as I was reading the mail. I thought about Kory Meyerink, who was one of the contributors on "The Source". He works for Ancestry now I think, and is a fairly well-known genealogist from Salt Lake. I may be going down there at the end of September for a conference for work, and would be willing to try and contact him if you think that's a good suggestion. He's a great speaker. I heard him a few years back at the Federal Way FHC where he did an all-day affair there (this had to have been at least 5 years ago...). Let me know if ya'll think this is a possibility...
