Portee,
Seems to me Kodiak is only listed as a sponsor of the reception, meaning they will have a display table and are springing for the chips and dip (and maybe some vintage Ripple). I couldn't find a complete list of presentations, just a preliminary draft with just a few speakers listed, so I couldn't tell if Kodiak is actually presenting or just setting up a table.
>>Institutional-quality companies that do not qualify to give a presentation may be considered for reception sponsorships. Reception Sponsors host a display table at either the Exploration Reception on Monday, September 14, 2009 or at the Emerging Producers' Reception on Tuesday, September 15, 2009.<<
According to the criteria posted by notmydayjob in a previous post, "Exploration companies should have a minimum market capitalization of US $250 million". I don't think Kodiak would qualify for a presentation.
Still, I think Kodiak would like to be able to discuss some new results at their booth, so I wouldn't rule out a news release sometime Monday before the reception...
