The pages for each of the speakers is quite nice. The bio/summary and picture is well put together.

Excited to see y'all up in the North-East. Be happy the convention is not being held in February!

Siena and I are planning to hit Six Flags over New England (about 5 miles from Springfield, MA) on Friday... probably from when it opens to get back in time for the evening speakers...

Think that Friday will be fewer crowds than Sat or Sun... but it's still probably busy.

Our plan is to be there at opening and be back in time for dinner / evening talks.

A whole crew from CCY is heading up... Some really good speakers this time. I'm especially looking forward to "Collecting in Guatemala" and Rusty Wessel on "Conservation"...
