I'm interested in something besides the traditional stand and talk to crowd stuff and I know others are as well. @joelturnbull, @kclasita, @rubyist and @ElizabethN went to Brooklyn Beta this year and had great things to say about it. I think most of us wanted something similar but didn't know how to put it together.

Copied this from @ryw in another thread:

I'd rather be hanging out in the hall having a conversation/forming a
relationship, because it's more active. Or writing some code in a workshop,
building something. I wonder if others feel the same, or maybe I'm an
oddball :)

For my brain to be fulfilled, I'd love the event to be something where we
can learn from Gaslight, Lisnr, Ample, Modulus, Girl Develop It, Neo,
Differential, etc. And connect more deeply with each other. Maybe add a
little bit of an unconference approach — since I think a lot of the
attendees have a high level of expertise.

Want to try something like that this year?

We've used the CAC for both 2012 and 2013. It works well and there's some familiarity.

Other ideas:

• A roving, Midpoint like tech conference. Multiple smaller venues instead of one central venue.

Traditionally, the first weekend in May with a Reds game at home. Do we want to stick with that? Should we forget the Reds game?
