Death Star time

Received a lovely invite to "join my peers" at a conference this week.
Nothing unusual in that, but it's not really my field: Directed
Energy Weapons are soon to provide a revolution in military
capability... potential for unlimited "ammunition" and the ability to
fight at the speed of light... Yup, it's high energy lasers!
Clearly lots of advances to report in this area; it does look quite a
varied programme.

The organisation running the event is called Defence IQ. I'm mildly
worried that they have an accurate version of my snail mail address.
