I'm on my way to work, but maybe I can respond in the morning. I have been to the conference twice, and I had a good time.

Ok, Im gonna have to make this quick as Im on my way to Nashville for the Exodus conference.
Anyway I went to the WNFJ conference in 2004 and 2005. I really had a good time and met many different X-Witnesses. The testimonies and the presentations are enjoyable and never boring.
In the lobby there are several booths set up by various ministries and you can find anything you need concerning the JW's--books,tapes,brochures, etc etc etc.
They have a cafeteria in the basement and they serve 3 buffet meals a day, and the food was good too.
The only downside for me is that most of the people attending are from the Northeast, there werent anyone from Ky or Tennessee, and the only people from Ohio were from the Northeast part of the state. Sybil (Dayton Ohio) does go also.
I went with the intention of meeting some local people, but I was the only one from "down south", with the exception of a couple of Florida people.
All in all the experience was good, along with the camraderie.
Oh you will also learn a little bit about Mormonism and other Cults too, but still mostly about JW's.
Typically there are about 200-300 people there.
Well I gotta run now, I hope this helps.
By the way, I did give my "abridged" testimony there back in 2005, it is titled "No way out" -
