Thanks Oscar for responding on this.

I suggest that you work with local printers. It removes the risk of 
having DVDs being lost in the post.

Alex suggested that we go with DVDs for everyone, which is the lowest 
risk, but have 50 of so USBs printed which people without DVDs can ask 
to pick up.

The risk for going with USBs is that we have only tried the USB with a 
couple of computers.

If you do decide to go ahead with USBs, (which will likely be a huge 
success), then I suggest trying to get as many people testing the USB as 
possible.

Can you please contact your printer and get back to us with a schedule 
as to when they need to have the image by, in order to get the USB/DVD 
printed for the conference.
