When looking for a job or for talent, it's always easier when you have met in-person, or you can go directly to the hiring manager. However, conferences are usually such a rush of activities, it's hard to set aside time to actually find those people. This is your chance to see who will be there, and possibly set up some time with them ahead of the actual conference. Enabling otherwise unlikely chances is why I created this project and why I continue to support it.
