One of things I'd really wanted to do in the end was arrange an alternating dinner/meeting: one year in K'zoo, the other in Leeds. That is of course an ambitious step and may be a dinner too far, but I think it might be nice. This wouldn't rule out organising sessions together at both conferences; it would just affect the business meeting.

Could I also point out that there are a number of other sub-discipline digital technology related sessions as well that are planned.
For example, the Medieval and Renaissance Drama Society is doing a roundtable/session (depending on number of speakers) on Technology and Early Drama. I'm sure there are others.
What I would suggest is that after the conference programme is finalised the DM project attempt to contact the session organiser or paper presenter for any session/paper that looks like it is concerned with computer technology in one way or another. Perhaps if we submit a list of sessions/papers the conference organisers might be willing to give us back a list of email addresses from the database. (Hrmm... maybe not) Then set up a meeting one suppertime where we can all meet and plan what we want to do for the following year. We can of course try to get this meeting in the programme, and if so, now is the time to do it.
