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 :)
