Crucial? That's a bit much. I don't think his attendance, or any trtc reps attendance, is going to make or break the company. They've been there and done that. Furthermore, conference organizers typically don't have the same speakers every year. That's my experience. They want to give others the opportunity and provide attendees new information.
The Blum acquisition will bring investors. New MMEs in NV will turn necks. I have no doubt that investors are talking to TRTC about needs. We are impatient beings. Our culture is an impatient one. We want everything RIGHT NOW! Well, we have to wait on this one. The BLUM news was announced less than a month ago, and people are back to lighting their torches and grabbing their pitchforks. Dilution will not continue. Blum shareholders would not allow for that type of deal. It's coming, and attending an investors conference is not key for the future of this company.
But go ahead and think it is. I'm sure we will see what happens.
