I was wondering the same thing actually. I'm planning on attending but I 
don't see how the organizers would actually know that apart from my name 
being on this list... I also see that some sample topics have been added 
to the main page, which is nice as I was wondering what kind of tone 
this conference would follow. However more information would really be 
nice as we are left wondering what exactly is going on.
