Hi there, since I’m not in NY at the moment, I would love to access the livestream for the event. I went through the link and came to the payment page but it was blank… How do I sign up for livestream access?
I am not able to attend conference. Will the presentations/information be available afterwards as a download or something?
I wish I can go, you guys should organize something for the westcoast
(ahem) in san francisco
I would absolutely love to come. Sadly, I live in Omaha, NE and am a poor college student. I will be there in my dreams.

This conference sounds GREAT!!!!! And I would love to attend but cannot take the time off from work. Are any of these lectures going to be rebroadcast on this web site at a later date? I’m happy to pay for that opportunity!!!
OH NO! I went to register this afternoon and it must be sold out. the wait list icon is on. I wishing on the moon for a set of tickets. So looking forward to it and now I am in limbo. So much for waiting for the last day of registering. :\
Did this just sell out? It says I’m on a wait list…what are the chances a ticket will really become available?

Sounds like it was alot of fun. Wish i could have made it!!
Thank you a lot for giving everyone an extraordinarily spectacular possiblity to check tips from this blog. It is often so kind and as well , full of a good time for me personally and my office mates to visit the blog nearly three times in one week to study the new secrets you have got. And definitely, I’m just at all times pleased concerning the impressive concepts you give. Selected two areas on this page are certainly the finest we’ve ever had.
Your paper really is helpful to me. You have different opinions in a similar things. The paper you have issued is what My group is thinking about, so I hope that you can issue more great papers like that. I will continue to focus on you.
Best post. I appear forward to reading a great deal more. Cheers
This could be the greatest writing online!!!
This surely makes perfect sense!!!
