There's definitely a need for those furthest along the path to share their experiences with the rest of us. I hope there will be venues for such talks and presos sooner than a year from now! :) Thanks for your comment, Brian.

I think there were plenty of smart people in the room doing plenty of great things. If there was a little more pre-organization, I think those of us with similar interests could have had more focused discussions on those topics. That would be, I think, very worthwhile. As new as this field is, I think there are some who are clearly more knowledagble than the rest of us, and who have already made great strives and had some accomplishments. I got some great insights from the lightning talkers, and I'd love to see them back next year with fuller presentations. Or, at least, have them lead more focused discussions.
