Joe, I’d love to help AA with their conventions eventually. Right now I’m in the planning stages of forming another atheist group, so I don’t have experience setting up atheist groups per se… but I do have experience working with nonprofits and in business management. -Andrew Clapper

I think Daniel Dennett is an excellent speaker.
Personally, I’m for having it in Minneapolis again, but I’m a bit biased on that.
How does one learn where to register for the Atlanta conference, and what the conference fee is (as opposed to the hotel cost)?
Thanks.
