Anyone going to this... I go every but never really meet anyone new. I should have asked the same question about the Slipper Symposium.
 
Anyone have experience or know of ' the orchidfix' in Hawaii.? Looks like jurahame from there is speaking, and has some preorder options. Can't say I have ever heard of him before.
 
No... but he breed and does his own lab work. Frank Smith must have thought he was ok to have him speak this year.
