Sorry hosty to have come on a bit strong. One of the reason to encourage Doug is that I find it difficult to go to conventions although maybe speakers should produce their own video much in they same way as they might produce a poster.
In general i don't have the time or the money to go to conferences. I can say the same thing about volunteering, community work and teaching. And that's one of the issues that I have with conferences held by bodies that you would expect to be concerned with professional field archaeologists, I basically sit here thinking "tell us about the money". Without that aspect everything comes over to me as indulgence, algao justifications or academic residue.
Doug should you offer your service for a fee?
