Here's what's been requested of me:

After a 2-day deluge of charts, graphs and sobering updates, we want to end by featuring stories from people who have been highly effective in leading others to the energy transition. In particular, we would like Chris to share his experience in putting together the Crash Course, the reactions and responses he has received from individuals/communities/businesses, and his strategies for building on this traction.

Here's some info about the conference and a link to the event:

ASPO 2009 International Peak Oil Conference

Timeline
* Registration Opens: June 1, 2009

* October 11-13, 2009 Conference

Reflecting on a tumultuous year of major swings in the price of oil and the world economy, the ASPO 2009 International Peak Oil Conference, which incorporates Europe's annual ASPO event, zeros in on the vital links between oil and money. While our signature issue of oil depletion may have disappeared from the headlines, and demand has dipped due to economic malaise, the situation remains the same: our world may be at or very close to peak oil production.

With three days of information-packed sessions featuring peak oil analysts from around the world, our conference content will appeal to a broad spectrum of people in business, industry, public policy, and members of the public concerned with resource supply issues.
