I have only been to the Utah woodturning symposium this year and am in the novice category. My day job, to provide for my woodturning habit, is as a database administrator. I have been to countless DB2 conferences. In the DB2 conferences the demonstartions are organized into tracks. For instance, there may be a client track that focuses on basic SQL, a programming track that focuses on more advanced topics, a DBA track that focuses on administrative topics, and a management track for those in business who make decisions about what software to buy. No one goes to these conferences expecting to see every presenter, but, although most of the demonstrations I go to may be on the DBA track, I can still go and catch something on the client track or the business track. I think this would help not only organization of the symposium but would also make it easier on the presenter in that they can custom make the demonstrations for whatever level they are giving it to. Just my thoughts.
