aikifredicist, you have convinced me of this point and I'd agree that having "many" more Peregrine employees in the area helping out so that everywhere one may turn you see another "Peregrine" name tag presence...
When you first mentioned this I did not think it through and will say no matter how little or much is asked from Peregrine employees, their professionalism and presence only means more exposure for Peregrine.
The Immune Evolution in Cancer meeting is in Whistler,BC. I went to a conference there once. It is about 2 hours north of Vancouver, BC. The HIV Pathogenesis meeting is in Banff, Alberta, much farther north deep in the Canadian Rockies. I flew over that once on the way to Edmonton to give a talk. Might be pretty cold in March! http://www.banff.ca/
