You increasingly see this – some “organization” sets up the event, it is hard to pin down who they are. See below.
In this case it’s the International Economic Forum of the Americas (I notice that it has a “Director of Security “.)
The registration form is on-line. (Don’t see one person who is responsible)
Here’s the guys behind it; their contact info is included. (UPDATE: I’d say we’re having an impact! By October 25 all the contact information for “the guys” has been removed from the website. There is one general email contact address.)

The”Partners” include 2 universities (Concordia is one).

Subject: Raise some hell. Cheney is a war criminal.
There are 75 confirmed speakers for a 2-day conference?
Anyhow – they are corporate types, for sure. It looks as though there was a 2012 Conference – – Harper spoke.
I looked at just 3 of the speakers. Complicit.

Does she know that Cheney is a speaker? What about Islam’s belief in helping society. They have a strong commitment to that principle.
