NOTE: I am doing something a little different this year.

Besides providing, the static PDF files so you can read the slides more clearly. As the presentations were in Keynote and many of the presenters having animations included them, I am providing a low-res .MOV file that contains the slides and the movies. You will need to click on each slide to advance to the next slide. If the slide contains any animation that will play automatically.

If you were there and want to be wowed again or if you missed this tricks and want to drop your jaw, than make sure to watch the movie files!
