I could well be far far better off if there were VFP sessions (even though I won't be anywhere near the place) because it might just help to *expand* the user base.

Once again, there have been sessions for the past 2 years. And yet, the user base has not increased. I understand what you are looking for. However, the past 2 years attendance figures do more to suggest why there should not be VFP sessions at TechEd.
