Having gone last year, I can highly recommend this conference. There is a lot of opportunity to interact with the folks making it happen and get your burning questions answered. I found many of the folks to be surprisingly candid about what they are doing, what they have accomplished, where they have failed, and what it costs. I personally will do my best not to miss the presentations by Jeff Greason, XCOR, John Carmack, and Peter Diamandis as well as the panel discussions.
