        I expect to hear from the CED organizer tomorrow, so I don't know all
the details yet.  There is a site for IT2000 --
http://www.cednc.org/infotech/2000/ -- check there for details. 

That being said ...

Yup.

Possibly, don't know.

Probably not.  Either good beer or no beer.  Likely the latter.

You're on your own, there, Steve.  Not that you have any trouble in that
dept.

Discount for admission to InfoTech2000 to INW members.

Don't know the discount yet.  Registration starts at $145/195 for CED
members/nonmembers, and goes up as the event draws near.  

> Would in-kind services be an acceptable form of payment?

That's been known to work in the past on an occasional individual
basis.  For CED members.

        I encourage you to join CED.  There are a lot of benefits you can
obtain from membership, mainly frequent networking/marketing
opportunities for you and your business.  It's a very good organization. 

        I'll keep you posted after I talk to those folks.
