privilege of
attending this Conference last year and it was absolutely amazing and
this year
it looks even better. On top of the awesome speaker's lineup, the price
for
registering before 12/31/05 is only $10 for students. I'd like to try
and get a
large group to come out from MIT. They also discount pricing for
groups, so
it'd be great if you could get back to me to let me know if you're
interested
and I could register everyone as a group. Hope many of you would be
able to
make it out for this awesome experience (there were already 300 men
signed up
after the first day of registration!). For more info on the conference
