LOL. I've heard of conferences not getting their videos out until the next
conference rolls around. Some conferences _are_ super fast about it, but
from what I've seen, two or three weeks after a conference is far faster
than most. The ones who manage to get videos out really fast are incredibly
well organized and probably throw a lot of money at it. I can appreciate
people wanting the videos sooner, but it sounds like we're doing quite well
with them this year.
