I love the fact that Brian and Ryan were able to put this great conference together on basically zero budget. They brought bring in great speakers, found a nice location with parking, provided breakfast and lunch, even had give-away freebies, and still participants were only charged $50.

Compare that to so many bloated three-day boring conferences I've been to that cost many times that amount and weren't nearly as good or fun.

Kudos to cone johnson, who also worked very hard on this conference with Brian and Ryan.
