With the names you list, you cannot help but to pick up a wealth of information. My personal favorites are Sugarman and Galletti - and I have quite a bit of their material.
I have read some of Nichols material - but do not own any.
Joyner does well for himself - and you must respect that.
If at all possible you should attend. Especially if you are wanting to focus on this type of marketing.
Myself??? Outside of not ever losing something in LA, or needing to head to LA for any other reason, I would fly in right before the meeting and leave right afterwards.
With your attendance being a free bonus to the paid attendee... Will you also receive any instructional materials as well?
Success and Regards... Mike
