[Deptheads] Guest of Honor/Special Guests for Gamex

[DB]

Rob, the company as Guest of Honor thing is an intriguing idea but the
danger there is that these companies think we¹re going to house their staff
(and pay for their flights) as opposed to those expectatiosn being one
person.  So if we can communicate to them otherwise, then yes, that¹s an
idea worth pursuing.
