Laurie,
When exactly is your conference? Where is it to be held?  I live in SE
Texas, but have friends in the Atlanta area who I have been trying to visit
for a while now.  I co-led a workshop for the Wisconsin Federation of
Museums on cost-effective exhibit design, so I believe I'd be qualified.
Please send me more information to the email below.  Good luck!
