+1 to what Ben said. Lynn Bender has a great reputation for building vendor-neutral events and this is shaping up to be a really good one for the Cassandra community. I'm devoting a lot of DataStax resources to it and I know Ben is doing the same at Instacluster.
Now that being said. If you want a truly amazing event, we need good talks! This is always a struggle for any event. If you have a great topic, don't be shy. Please speak up. If you need some help getting your talk together, I would be more than happy to help you. Let's make this a great event for the community.
