Questions overheard about PA 2015:  Why should I take a week off and come to PA 2015?  Will there be enough internationals for this to be a truly global event?  Why is the registration cost so high?  MWC General Secretary César Garcia's responses to these and other questions can be found at www.mwc-cmm.org/NAquestions
