This sounds like a lot of fun.  _Please_ make a video of it.  These
days you need absolutely nothing to do a very creditable job of
recording an event like this -- anyone with an iPhone can do the job!
You could no doubt sell this on a DVD.  At the least, offer them to
us on MMDigest -- I hereby order one!

Even if you do not decide to make a commercial product of this right
now, I think it is a very good idea to make video records of all the
lectures and presentations.  Future viewers will bless you for
preserving the events, and those mounting exhibits, demos and memorials
will be thrilled to have video clips from the past to use.
