Who
This is a multi-disciplinary event... meaning that we want designers, developers, marketers, engineers, artists, thinkers and reality-checkers... no more bubbles -- we want cross-polination! If you want in, like technology, to build things or asking good questions, you should come! (from mashpitsf3)
