And here's a note from someone that did make the effort to attend ( Doug Burns ) ...

Soon after that I was scheduled to attend the Quest booth with my Tshirt  on to enter the $10000 prize draw! But, no, having been extremely impressed with Mary-Ann Davidson's blog on disclosure, and with the focus on security at my current site, I thought a Meet The Experts session might be a better bet. What a disappointment it was. I know the PA was temperamental but I wish she'd followed Justin's gentle encouragement to use a microphone. I know it was a small informal group and she doesn't like using one, but it was virtually impossible to follow the conversation. Seriously, it just p*ssed me off completely because it showed a disregard for the audience. I walked off in a huff.
