  1. Shel, you asked on FIR 445 why nobody was applying to win the contests. Look at your survey: nearly half of your listeners are in the US, which makes it harder to go to a European event. Combined with a general corporate tightening on travel, that’s a tough combination. I couldn’t go to a conference in the UK unless the contest included airfare and hotel.
