  It's only about a 5 hr drive for me, I'm gonna try, but some things to figure out before then.

  Well, if any of you see me there, please say hi! I might be wearing glasses, so don't let that throw you. And I'll probably be lugging around a backpack.

  I'll be there, Rob. I'll try to tweet as much as possible to make it easier for anyone interested to find me.

  I'm sorry for being so clueless, but who was it from this thread who came up to me on Saturday morning of the conference?

  That was me, Rob. You were obviously busy so I just said "Hi" and left you to your interviews. I'm sure we'll run into each other at another event in the future.

  Awww, darn, wish I would have talked to you more. I definitely did want to connect with other listeners from LTB-land (since I'm just a listener with a podcast!). What did you think of the conference?

  I had a good time. I listened to some thought provoking and entertaining talks, I met a few individuals in person that I had only previously corresponded with online (including John Barrett), I caught up with other bitcoiners I hadn't seen since the last conference I attended, and I was once again invigorated and motivated by all the energy and groundbreaking ideas present.

  Unfortunately, I also felt the conference was organized better last year. Twenty minutes per presentation didn't allow enough time for questions from the audience. Since no refreshments were provided or available without leaving the event, it would have also been nice if a lunch break was incorporated in there somewhere, or at least more than a few seconds between speakers.

  Overall, I'm glad I went but there was definitely room for improvement.

  I agree on all counts! I actually originally had the conference described in a way that made it sound like a Bitcoin party and conference, and that we'd able to buy cocktails and enjoy them while listening to talks and panels.

  I actually heard very few of the speakers, as I was mostly out interviewing people. But I do have them all recorded, and hope to listen to all 17-ish hours as time permits.

  Did any stand out to you as being great?

  What did you think of H.O.P.E. Gold Coin?
