Folks,

Keep in mind two things:
1) The speaker owns the content and has the full right to determine if and when it is available to anyone. They can load the handout up to the site, or choose not to. They can make it available after the conference or choose not to. They own it and can make those decisions, COMMON does not.
2) If everyone could download all the handouts for the conference as the result of paying yearly dues, why would you ever choose to go to the event? Sure you want to hear the speaker, get the interaction with your peers, and go to the Expo, but if you could get all the content for next to nothing ......?

Let's get real about how organizations like COMMON actually function.

retrieve a handout.

Then again, there were lots of things which seemed silly to me. I guess
that's why I no longer attend the conferences. I only pay the dues to
reserve my ability to vote.

Right, only conference attendees can get the handouts for the conference.
