- Agreed. But if all you are sent for is the talks, your employer would
- be better off just buying you a copy of the proceedings and telling you
- to read it. If your employer thinks it worth sending you in person, they
- presumably want you to acquire information and contacts that cannot be
- found in the proceedings. That sort of thing doesn't usually stop at 5PM.
