Hey professor, do you think this will be recorded? Could the media department set something up? Because I would really like to attend but I have prior engagements for the whole time slot that I can't get out of and it sounds really interesting.

Sure thing. A link to map and directions has been added above.
As a postscript, the conference was a great success as far as content was concerned with wonderfully informative presentations. All involved seem to enjoy being a part of it, and several folks have expressed an interest in next years event.
