"Invitation to share your AdSense experience in Washington D.C."

Has anyone else received this email from the AdSense Team?

Has anyone else received this email from the AdSense Team, inviting them to share your AdSense experience in Washington D.C. by providing testimony to Congress? If so, do you intend on testifying? I know my testimony would be very favorable, but the time and expense involved on relatively short notice is rather demanding - imo
(I removed the referenced email on member advice - but it is quite real)

You can't post that email man. I don't care what it says.

It's an email that members of IAB are sending out, from BurstMedia to Valueclick. There will be a networking reception and dinner at the Google offices in Washington, D.C.

I am in the DC area so I might be coming

Thanks for the reply. The event does seem worthwhile, but I can't juggle my schedule on such short notice to arrange attendance for this year. I guess I'll block-out time for possibly attending next year.

I received it too! But I don't think I can make it there -- It's just too far.

I got it, would love to go but cant swing it.

A similar "small publisher fly-in" was held last year. I attended and, although tramping around Capitol Hill is not a novelty to me, I enjoyed it. For me, the most enjoyable aspect was meeting other publishers.

I highly recommend this to anyone who can take time to go. I can't do it this year because it conflicts with something else, but it is definitely worthwhile.
