Maybe the NIME concept is too specific; it could be part of existing general 
conferences on computer art. Also, the conference could be virtual, like a 
collection of documents and demonstration materials (software, videos, 
soundtracks, etc, not only PDF documents), so people could recreate 
mini-conferences anywhere. Fortunate people likes to travel and gather, but 
it's at the expense of accessibility for others who can't afford it; money 
could be spent on producing high quality material and better web 
infrastructure, instead of more carbon dioxide. But it's just an idea...

Yes. And also demonstrations. But it was not all free. I don't remember the 
details, it was a while ago.

Great! :-)
