Check out some of the footage I took from the conference back in 2005 (includes Bruce Nussbaum). The video is poor quality—but the content is solid. I'm be looking forward to the end of the week. And I'll be Twittering from the event so if you are interested, you can follow here.
If you are going, look me up and we'll have a chat.
