Unfortunately I read the press release, and the conference is for 'surname
group administrators' only. First, this makes me wonder to what extent
FTDNA sees this solely as a way to sell more tests - a marketing promotion -
and as a consequence the actual amount of information will be minimal, and
second, it means that people like myself, who aren't group administrators,
are out of the running.

I'd buy a button, anyway.
