~What Justin Krebs said: "Trainings and workshops, speakers and an unconference, price-points for everyone, great progressive partners... . I strongly encourage folks to go.  Campaign staffs can get a serious training in new media, data, tech, etc.  More seasoned organizations can rub elbows with the next generation of activist leaders.  Candidates should all find a way to connect with this energy."

~What Elana Levin said: "This conference is for communicators, organizers, and fundraisers. Members and staff at unions, nonprofits, member organizations, and campaigns. Board members, member-organizers, elected officials, and their staffers. Hackers, occupiers, free-agents, and trouble-makers."
