As I understand it, it's meant to be a conference ON THE FUTURE OF GALLAUDET, though with an emphasis on the role blogging/vlogging has played in shaping the dialogue about that future. Kokonut Plundits has posted a letter from Jill Bradbury clarifying the intent of the conference: http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2007/01/gallaudets-first-bvlogging-conference.html. I have also posted the same clarification, with some additional comments from me, at my own blog at http://reunifygally.wordpress.com/2007/01/07/lets-cut-jill-bradbury-some-slack/ I do hope that there will eventually be a more generic conference on deaf blogging and vlogging in general. And when there is, then yes, I, too, would like to see it held in a different location each year; Gallaudet, NTID/RIT, other cities/states (San Francisco? Houston? London? Paris? Melbourne? Madrid? Johannesburg? Beijing? Nairobi?). But this particular conference is meant to focus on the future OF GALLAUDET. So I think its entirely appropriate for it to remain there, if it is indeed repeated. I'm not sure that it will be: from what I gather (and I hope I'm not inadvertently contributing to the misunderstandings already widely circulating about this conference), it is set up in direct reaction to the recent protests and is meant to stimulate civil, respectful, objective dialogue on the protests, including focus on the role of blogging/vlogging in those protests.
