Big thanks to SPARK and UM's Center for Entrepreneurship for their
generous support of ArbCamp 08! SPARK provided the venue, drinks, and
split food costs with CFE, while many other folks volunteered their
time, muscle, and office supplies to set up an explosive night of geek
interaction.

And thanks to everyone who showed up, many of you unconference
newbies, to connect in the dead of winter with a diverse crowd of your
peers. And eat a ton of pizza.

Here's a quick summary of ArbCamp 08 by the numbers:

* 247 people pre-registered online
* 163 signed-in (although our process was admittedly lossy,
especially during the 6 PM zerg rush)
* 96 different companies and organizations represented
* 30 pizzas devoured
* 30 half-hour talks in 3 hours

Online coverage of the event continues on Twitter, blogs, and other
online forums (did you join the a2geeks LinkedIn group?)...

And finally, some nice video coverage by David Buchanan from
Coefficient Media: http://www.coefficientmedia.com/node/70

We'll be organizing a number of other events coming up that we'll
announce via the a2geeks mailing list and RSS news feed, so keep an
eye out. The next one will likely be our first Ann Arbor Startup
Drinks event (http://annarbor.startupdrinks.com/ ) after New Year's...
