I will this be streamed or recorded?

I wish so badly I could be there for this. Working with a couple of teams this season has really opened my perspective to how incredibly difficult it is to be the sort of mentor that inspired me as a student. Whichever winners end up there, thank you so much for sharing your expertise with the FIRST community.

I really wish I could attend this, but most likely I will be teaching at the time. It's counter-intuitive to leave my students for the purposes of becoming a better teacher. Hopefully it will be recorded.

Neither, and I'm not sure how you inferred this from my above post. I was expressing my desire to attend while faced with my inability to be in two places at once. It's a personal limitation of my own schedule, and in no way reflects upon the scheduling of this conference.

Whether I am able to attend or not, I'm sure it will be a wonderful conference. I'm thankful such conferences exist, and look forward to attending, if not this year, some future year.

I hope to attend if I can, but it will be anyone's guess what our team is doing. We've booked a venue well out of town so I have to leave when everyone else does.

I hope it's recorded. Do they typically record these?

Thanks to everyone who attended this and for all of the great questions. This was the first time for a WFA conference. We all enjoyed it and hope to bring it back in 2016.

For 2016, we will plan to have an option to submit questions in advance so that we can prepare answers and possibly be able to answer more questions.

The WFA panel was Lane, Earl, John L, Paul and Chris.

Will it be going online a some kind of a format, preferably video?
