I don't think you're allowed to bring voice recorders to the workshop sessions, because they have a company who professionally records and sells CDs from conference workshops every year.
One thing that helped me a lot last year was getting a collapsible keyboard for my PDA. I was able to type all of my notes (I type faster than I write) and save them on word documents on my PDA, and then I was able to share all of my conference notes with all of my cluster afterwards.

THAT SUCKS!
Just because I would like to put my own thoughts, etc. on notes and still referense exactly what I just heard.
My pastor records his teachings, and I have noticed that I get all jacked up if it isn't the same service I went to, because things are said in different sessions.
