I think we would have a better chance of the conference being covered if
one of the organizers (doctors, etc.) could contact them. Preferably a
doctor.  I think they would be more apt to be interested. A note from some
of us also would make it more inticing to them.  I assume you are talking
about the Baltimore conference. Since there is such an interesting list of
doctors who will be speaking, perhaps that might tempt ATC. I also think it
would be wise to send them the program.
