</div></div>Do we REALLY need a presentation format? I was hoping for a much less<br>
formal, less structured meeting environment; Everyone on this list has<br>
their own experiences and insights, and it's a lot easier (and more<br>
fun) to interact and extract these experiences in a coffee-table<br>
format than a presenter-audience format.<br>
