so if you`re running the thing, tell me why i should go. Think of it as a challenge. What would you say to a potential customer if they asked why they should give you their money? Would you say you`re not here to convince them?

I am not out to convince you, as you are not a challenge. This is an event that is free for attendees and WILL be capped off once it hits the max that the venues will hold.
You seem to think that I am trying to sell you something but this couldn't be further from the truth.
I expect to see a smart, energetic group of people come to Vancouver and spend the weekend enjoying each other's company as well as having productive discussion and debate regarding many of the tough issues we're all facing right now.
There will not be booths, there will not be shitloads of content girls walking around passing out flyers every day and there will not be a big bunch of people standing around trying to figure out what a raw vs. a unique is or whether a cookie or an ip is a better tracking method. While there is a time and a place for booths and such, the group of people that this event targets couldn't care less about booths, they care about money in their pockets.
