I just looked through the convention agenda. The only one I was interested in was the NLS session on Tuesday. But then I found an article from November's Braille Monitor that consisted of a speech by the director of the NLS, covering the exact same topics that the convention panel is supposed to cover.
So it looks as though I won't be going to the convention after all. I'm very excited, though, to learn about the the upcoming program at NLS to lend Orbit Reader 20 machines to library members.
(Also, I had my usual feeling of "I am a total imposter in the blind community because my only visual impairment is print impairment!" Then I reminded myself that I'm excited over braille equipment, and I felt better.)
