We cannot stress to you how much we enjoyed last year’s PSFK Conference and on a daily basis, the company’s amazing website. We sound like gushy fans, but hell… that’s what we are. Thus, we were super psyched to buy our ticket for the upcoming PSFK New York Conference about ten minutes ago. Yes, we paid for it and we’re still on high from hitting the “buy” button. We’ll be the one with the name tag that reads “agency spy,” natch.
Get your tickets for Thursday, March 27th here. So far, it looks as though the 2008 event will focus on green, good, TV and social media. However, there six more talks that have yet to be added to the agenda. We’re hoping for gaming (though they did it last year) or gender/class/race or mobile, or, or….

Misc Details
Time has been built in for networking. Ticket price includes coffee and lunch and WiFi should be avalable too. Seating is limited so tickets are expected to sell out early. Come join us.
Pay For Speak
PSFK operates a policy against the conference standard of ‘Pay For Speak’. You are paying $300 to see these people speak because we’re inspired by them not because those speakers have paid to be on stage by bunging us some sponsorship cash. Saying that, if an individual really inspires us, we’ll ask them to speak even if their employer is a sponsor.
