Indeed. I was happy with the shop Symmetry hired to do the 
recording. The initial estimate, I'm told, was 2-3 weeks 
depending on the amount of footage they had to work with, which 
sounded great to me. They were using three cameras that I saw, 
but I heard there were four. Splicing together footage from 
multiple cameras for three days of talks is not something that 
happens in a couple of days unless you've got a large team 
working on it exclusively, and that would add $$$$ to the 
conference costs. Needlessly, in my view.
