It's just a few short days away. The inaugural Core77 Conference is this Thursday, June 19! If you're not sure about going, keep in mind there are only a handful of tickets left but there are TONS of reasons to attend. You've probably read about what the day's schedule has to offer, and who will be speaking there (including her, him and them,) but what about the rest of the day and night? Here's the scoop on the fun and food that will compliment some of the most enlightening presentations you'll hear this summer.

When you arrive, you'll receive your conference packet-on-a-lanyard that is stuffed with the following important items: 1.) Your name tag, which makes networking that much easier. 2.) The printed program guide so you know who is speaking when. 3.) Your dinner ticket, which is good for a some delicious chow from the Milk Truck Grilled Cheese food truck later in the evening. 4.) Your complimentary conference token, redeemable for $5 toward the goodies for sale at the conference merchandise table. This includes t-shirts, books, hand screen-printed posters, a notebook and a tile from +POOL. 5.) Your ticket to be redeemed for a mystery gift at the end of the night.

Your packet-on-a-lanyard is an important part of the entire day, so make sure you keep it close. Lunch, on the other hand, is on us, so there's no need to worry about a ticket. We are proud to be serving lunch straight from the Brooklyn Commune kitchen, a Windsor Terrace, Brooklyn, community cafe and restaurant that serves local and sustainably-sourced food prepared by Chef Chris Scott. They promote sustainability through sponsoring educational opportunities about healthy choices, and through partnerships with local producers, artists and organizations. Their menu is well-reviewed, too, so everyone wins!

As the presentations conclude and we're all happily sated thanks to the Milk Truck, New Orleans brass-funk-rock band Bonerama will take the stage. If you haven't heard their music yet, check them out on Youtube for a taste of the good tunes and good times they're bringing to the conference. Registering for the conference automatically puts you on the VIP list to enjoy the drinks (on us) and music at the end of the day, but your friends are welcome to join us! Just let them know the fun, music and cash bar get started at around 6pm.

With all these reasons to register for the Core77 Conference beyond the day's content, what are you waiting for? Tickets are almost gone. Get yours today!
