Sounds, looks and is amazing....
Unfortunatly I have school :(
But Ill be there next year for sure!!!

I would be there as well but I have school and I’m flying to California in the summer to chill with Peau productions.

Agree, school conflicts.  Hope it is well documented so we who cant go can still read/see what happens.

Nice job on setting up this conference. This looks like it is going to be an amazing line up of speakers.  This is exactly what is needed to build a stronger community at NUI.  Can’t wait to see where this goes.

I plan to attend. Will definitely hook up with the NUI crew while Im there.

School once again precludes me from attending. Which convention center is the conference going to be at?

Wonderful!!
I wish I could go…

This should be a great experience. I’m glad NUI Group was able to play in a role in this; congrats NUI Group! Egosgame, should be fun to hangout again.

Hey guys, I would skip school to attend this for sure

This is a great initiative and my wish is to hang out with you guys and get inspired.

Let’s see to it that the universe hears my wish and sends me across the globe to sunny california…

Nice!
Would love to go but school’s in the way...maybe summer conference in 2010?

I would skip school as well but then I also have to fly to California . Maybe if it was a little more local then I’d go specially the fact that Im planning on going to San Diego this summer.
