Will,

I enjoyed the couple of times we've met in the past.

If that's what it'll take to get you back to the U.S. for a visit. :-) 

Actually, I think a good "general" Q&A would be a good pre-show event; especially for newbies, who may not know what questions to ask of the exhibitors.

It would also keep the exhibitors on their toes, knowing a savvy crowd will be descending upon the show floor. :-)
