    Definitely would consider it if it was held in the Central US.

    I would like to go. Time and location would be my deciding factor. Always ready to gas up the Mach 1 for a road trip.

    Sounds good to me. Location would be a huge factor, but I think anything east of the Mississippi is drivable.

    If there were companies also there that sold tools, EPA maybe, recycling companies, scrap yards, refineries, melt furnace companies, etc, people from entities like the Silver and Precious Metals institute, maybe steel companies regulatory entities, etc.

    You are talking about a lot of work for someone. If it's just a bunch of guys standing around shooting the breeze, that might be "cool" to attend, but the value would be in talking personally with people that normally we don't come into contact with I think.

    I would probably go regardless, it's a great idea, I'm not sure if anything like this has ever been done in the United States. Perhaps we can even get some government grant people out, or maybe lawyers or other people who deal in setting up businesses in this type of industry. It could actually help many people grow their business and increase their profits.
