This will be all about Naturalistic Bonsai Style. More info later.
Mark this important event. If you hate Naturalistic Bonsai Style, you  must go there to nurture your prejudices. If you love Naturalistic  Bonsai style you must go there to reinforce your taste.
It will be most interesting and entertaining, I can assure you.
