it's one of those things that is not really worth going to unless you are speaking or on the panel.

Side topic possibly some Pizza for the crowd
Incidentally Saturday, May 18th, is the 3rd anniversary of Laszlo's offer to pay 10,000 BTC to have 2 pizzas delivered to him.
There were some nibbles but nobody confirming they would do a deal, so three days later Laszlo asks:
"So nobody wants to buy me pizza? Is the bitcoin amount I'm offering too low?"
And following that a deal was struck. Two pizzas delivered for 10K BTC.

Behave, talk smartly to the press if they ask you questions and make it more popular 
Side topic possibly some Pizza for the crowd showing that bitcoin transcations do work as a demonstration and that it is just the beginning
Or that you can get gift cards from over 50,000 retail locations using bitcoins

Another piece of fun advice: Laptop thefts happen with some regularity at tech conferences ... at a Bitcoin conference if the thieves don't STEAL ALL THE LAPTOPS, they're sleeping on the job.
Prepare for theft by having a good backup and either not leaving coins on your laptop or at least using full disk encryption and wallet encryption. Be prepared to keep your laptop with you at all times. Consider bringing a lock for it.

Let's hope Marriott and the rest of the major hotels are done changing all the guest room locks:

1. Gut the insides out of a broken laptop.
2. Put a Wi-Fi Raspberry Pi, GPS, and a g-sensor in it, so you know if it gets moved, and how far.
3. Fill the rest of the empty space in the case with explosives.
4. Wait until you see that your laptop has been stolen and is still on the move.
5.
6. Profit?
Haha, now you can be sure there will be feds all over the conference.
That's OK - that's what they're supposed to be for: to keep us safe.
Although I'm sure they think that fucking with us endlessly and making our lives a hell on earth is just a bonus.

Similarly, protect your smartphone with Bitcoin Wallet.
If my Android phone is not rooted, are the bitcoins on it reasonably secure?
i'm not rooted and i've never had a problem with Spinner.

Only after you create a backup of your wallet and move it off the phone.

Even being in the US, it's still a bit far for travel in some ways (west coast)... hopefully, a future one will be on the east coast or at least the middle of the country.
