Conference delegate?

I've now been in the group for over a week, and made friends with quite a few of the team. And one of them gave me some juicy information yesterday. The main international body for the work I'm doing is the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, their next conference meeting is in May 2006 in Washington state, USA. If I can get enough data for a paper by November 2005, I may have a chance of going. I'm working pretty hard anyway, but from now on I'm going all out.
