~What Justin Krebs said: "Trainings and workshops, speakers and an unconference, price-points for everyone, great p rogressive partners... . I strongly encourage folks to go. Campaign staffs can get a serious training in new media, data, tech, etc. More seas oned organizations can rub elbows with the next generation of activist lead ers. Candidates should all find a way to connect with this energy."

Board members, member-organizers, elected official s, and their staffers. Hackers, occupiers, free-agents, and trouble-makers. "
