I just moved to the Bay Area and I'm really looking forward to this.
Out of curiosity, what kind of activities are there going to be to promote ice breaking and networking? I ask because all the best events I've been to always make sure to pay as much attention to promoting networking as they do the speakers.
On top of that, would it be possible to make sure the name tags are really big and easy to read casually at a distance. It's always much easier to strike up a conversation when you can glance at someone's name tag and easily read their name, twitter handle or HN handle without having to lean in and stare.
