PCOC Convention in Hawaii

Would anyone like to comment freely on the PCOC convention in Hawaii this year. There has been a lot of controversy about taking the California pest control convention out of the state. In this bad economy, which PCOC did not predict, it is difficult to attend so far away. Even in a good economy it would have been difficult. So I’d love to get an update from those who were able to attend as well as those how couldn’t or refused to go to Hawaii.
