Peter, that's a good point and I think Tim McGeary will be able to cover the high-points that you mention, and perhaps some others, in his initial welcoming remarks. But if someone wants to provide a more in-depth and/or personal introduction to the conference that would be welcome too, although it will be easiest to accommodate it in the ways I suggested (which could possibly be a lightning talk as part of the first day's intro if Tim is willing).
