Present overview of the Artemis Project
Title: Your Ticket to the Moon:
Artemis Project Overview
Don't call it "the Artemis Project" in the program book,
because people won't know what it's about. So many
conventions have made this mistake that it's not funny
any more.

consider repeating it because within my experience,
people often are disappointed that they missed it after
they've heard what it's about.

overhead projector, screen

Greg Bennett is thinking to present the program early in the conference,

people who will prepare and coordinate in advance.
