Rockbrook Camera also had an announcement about a professional photographer meeting in KC. 

"Heart of America Professional Photographers Association is comprised of photographers from Kansas , Missouri and Nebraska. Throughout the year these state associations hold seminars and workshops to benefit both newer photographers and seasoned business owners. Belonging to one of the members states can be of real value to any studio owner. Membership in one of the state associations automatically makes you a member of HOA.
Hundreds of photographers from all over the Midwest will be shopping in the Trade Show. Get some hands-on time with all of the new products. Rockbrook Camera will be there! Learn tips, marketing ideas and experience the value of one-on-one time with the vendors."

They attached a coupon good for free admission to the trade show, which you can pull off their site or I've attached it here.  Not sure if you have to be a member of the Association to attend.

Don't some newer model cameras encode the GPS along with other metadata?
