Unfortunately I won't be able to provide the video of the Blogs presentation I gave at the IDSA conference or last week - or rather I should say, I can only provide the video - unfortunately I did not record the audio succesfully.

You can still access the presentation slides here:

Chalk one up to bad design and/or human error. Apologies for this - no one is more dissapointed than myself.
