All in all the presentation was very rewarding and I highly recommend that you consider attending if you have any interest in the subject.  The USPTO will be conducting two additional road shows in the coming year in the mid-west and in California.  Special kudos to Susan Anthony and Conrad Wong, both of the USPTO, and to their team, for running a very professional program.
