Hey gang - mind if I have a virtual heart-to-heart with you? As you probably know, life has been very busy for me down here in Southern California. I’m four years removed from Iowa, and eight years into producing Lockergnome. We announced our fourth-annual conference a few months ago, and I’ve watched it blossom into something completely different than what it was in the beginning. I hope you don’t mind my decision to bring Gnomedex back to its roots: the people.
No open bar, no Comedy Central - just a whole bunch of geeks gone wild on their own volition. Since ~50 people had signed up when we were still promoting the “liqueur” angle, we’ll be honoring that offer with drink tickets. It’s Gnomedex 4, plain and simple. Yes, we’ll have parties. Yes, we’ll have speakers. Yes, we’ll have panels. Yes, we’ll have fun. Yes, we’ll have sponsors. Yes, we’ll have WiFi. With these two adjustments, we’ll also keep the original spirit that made our convention so successful in years past. That’s what I really want (more than anything else). |
If you were undecided about attending this year, perhaps this will help you decide...to do so. |

Hello
I think this new focus will be helpful in attracting sponsors who may be looking for a more businesslike environment.
Is more detailed demographic information going to be available? I was hoping to bring up participating in Gnomedex with my new employer but I'd like to be able to provide them with more information as to why it wold benefit them to do so.
Regards,
Aryeh Goretsky |
