Yeah, no. I’m kidding. Check this video out as prep for what I’m about to say.

I’m not sure I’ve ever been to a cooler conference. The facility (Kaneko) was awesome. The speakers were phenomenal. And the fact they put the whole thing on about 2 hours drive from my house makes me very, very happy. I had on a dumb smile from the minute Jason Fried took the stage til a few hours after Gary Vaynerchuk went off. Jeff Slobotski and Dusty Davidson (the event organizers) nailed it.

This was a first-time conference put on in a place not well known for such events, but you’d have never known. The whole town felt cool, starting with the opening party and open house (What Cheer / Secret Penguin) and continuing straight through.

I loved it. I really hope they do more.
