Actually, SMD II, SPG gave attendees PLATINUM status. I've used the hell out of it this year and it's pulled a lot of my business away from Hilton, both out of usefulness and appreciation to the sponsors.
Tommy does a hell of a job coordinating these things - and if he needs any help I'm glad to offer my assistance!
