David, are there any companies or grants out there for funding for wanna-be participants?  I know Vocational Rehab and Easter Seals in Fort Worth is not considering it.  Are you considering recording any of the sessions to share with those who cannot attend?  Is web casting an option you are looking into for future conferences?  It might be an option for those of us who have  the technology to tap in that way to share views, experiences, and information.
