Tentative yes from Asheesh. Had a couple of questions;

1) Q: Exact dates A: 19-21 September 2016

2) Q: Is the invitation specifically for him or is it possible for someone else from Sandstorm speak if he isn’t available?

 

Asheesh emailed me tonight to confirm that he can definitely speak. 

Re: a call this week, Wednesday or Friday morning is best for me.
