Many of the presenters said the presentations would be available on the CIL wiki; many of the presentations don't appear in the "Conference Proceedings" book. **I would like to second this question...I've looked around this wiki, but haven't found them anywhere. Are they just not posted yet? *** (4/23) Me too - I was counting on these to make my report.
