Experience: yes. I met a ton of awesome people

Information: In terms of the presentation contents, not as much. The actual presentations were all put online. I felt like I got a lot out of talking to the people, though.

(I'm from NYC, so I flew from the east coast, and am again this year)

I'm also from NYC; my partner and I are starting to look around to see what startup-related meetups / discussion groups / networks / etc there are in the city. Any recommendations for particularly good ones?

Me too.

There's a Hacker News meetup in NYC and a few tech meetups which are pretty interesting.

You can email me at myusername @ gmail if you want to chat.

I just moved to NYC as well. I would love to keep posted about all the HN happenings. Emailing you now.

I'm flying from Santiago, Chile. Btw, anyone else from Chile coming?
