    Why should I attend?    
         1. It's the last national meeting *before* the February 18 DTV switch, and you'll want to hear
       how the system, as a whole, is planning to handle the big day, and the day after.
  Agenda      2. It's deliberately designed so that people from every part of public television can find out what
       the *other* people in public television are doing. (Break down those silo walls!)
