Wow! You created your own conference. Extremely awesome.

As someone who wants to do the same thing (and has the contact network to feasibly do it), I am extremely interested in knowing how you did it :) Any pointers?

Edit: Also, I would be happy to join in on your project. As in become your assistant organizer or something like that. I am awesome at finding interesting talent and getting it to work for free :) Email me for more info :)

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback! A couple of pointers: 1) Just do it. When in doubt, if you've got the resources to make it happen, the worst case is you'll learn a few things on how to make it better. 2) Bring in your network to help you out. I'm also lucky to have a large network, but it was awkward telling close friends that I didn't accept their talk, so I brought in a diverse team who reviews all of the talks now. If you have any questions, don't hesitate. I'll be sure to email you, thanks again!
