By Invitation only. An event focussing on what makes conferences great.
→ Lots of cool talks & lots of beer.
All talks condensed to less than 1 beer in length (i.e. 5 minutes, make it snappy).
→ Only the cool shit, no fluff.
Didn't get invited? Then try to hack your way in ;-)
To be announced.:
"Cool! 'Just the moneyshot' talks." -- An unnamed conference organiser
"Thanks man, it does honor me to get your invite." -- Some German Guy (who isn't attending)
""I refuse to be used to endorse an event I have no relation to!" -- Our Keynote Speaker [NAME WITHHELD]
"I'd like an invite, but I'm going to another party" -- Guy who isn't getting an invite
"I guess I should go to BarCon. There is no one left to go anyplace else" -- A-listers, gotta get 'em all!
"I'd like to bring some of the guys on the team, can I get a few extra invites?" -- MSFT employees begging _me_ for +1s for a change!
