If you are interested, I suggest you sign up right now, since people are registering as you read this, and the room does have a capacity. To sign up, go here. To see who’s already signed up, go here. To see the itinerary, go here (it’s in Hebrew - I hope to get an English version up here soon.)

The very existence of this conference is testimony to the power of blogs! One guy blogged his idea, the other guy took it and ran with it, and the other guys and gals all enthusiastically joined in. (Don't know what I'm talking about? Read this.)

Hope to see you there!
