Free trips back and forth on a teleporter.  Or at least 3 unlikely
events (out of the US Go Congress's control) to occur.

It's probably be more viable for people to send their programs than to
show up in person.  It's probably possible to grab a few windows
computers and put bots on them.  My program is weak enough that I don't
mind running on inferior hardware.

Honestly, the previous event really had little non-go stuff to do.  I
just can't play go or watch go lectures all day.  For the previous one,
I was able to drive 2 hours to get there.  I spent only 3 hours or so at
the event (as a non-player) and then turned around to go home.

Another gathering of computer go developers.  There was one at the last
event, but the organization of it was horrible.
