WRT the Wall St. Conf. I believe those who attended had plenty of one on one time speaking to the company representatives at the booth they'll have there. You may not be able to ask questions during the formal presentation, but if it's anything like last year, you can spend all the time you wish with the speaker and others from the company who should be in attendance.

It's my belief that in attending such conferences, attendees may often learn far more from what they hear outside the formal presentations than what's inside.

Many of the conferences held these days are done in two parts, first a formal presentation, than a Q&A frequently in a different room. The formal presentation is generally webcast, but recently the Q&A is also webcast, and I found when it was, I learned more from it. The same is also often true in quarterly webcasts that are open to questions from Analysts after the formal presentations. In listening to such presentations you must be willing to accept the fact that the company believes it's too early, etc. to speak about certain subjects. A CEO I used to correspond with would say, it's not yet ready for prime time.
