The panels I'd really like to attend...

elfsThere's a writer's workshop to which I've been invited, and I have to say that I'm intrigued by the offerings on hand but I'm reluctant to blow the $65 it takes just to listen to the kinds of things I often get as part of the package at NorWesCon or any other writer's convention. The track I'm most interested in contains the following panels: "Plot and Structure", "The Short Fiction Toolbox", "All the Good Advice I Wish I'd Gotten Way Back When", and "How Natural History can Enliven Your Prose."
I think those are all fine panels, but there are a few panels I'd love to see. Most writing groups aren't interested in supported the mass-market producer or the serial writer. But why aren't there panels like "Episode 300: How To Avoid Repeating Yourself Yet Again"? Or "Twenty Years of Avoiding the Brain-eater"? Or "Trust Me: Your Current Works In Progress Aren't Merely Pale Shadows Of The Stuff You Wrote Ten Years Ago"?
Because I could probably use a couple of those.
