The best aspect of the conference are its participants, who hail from 29 differant countries (40 from the US, 40 from Israel, 40 from Europe/Latin America/other). I suspect that they were not chosen based on prestige or pedigree, but rather on being innovative/risk-friendly. They are wonderful people to be around professionall- young people with passion, vision, and sincere interest in changing the world through collaborative projects, organizations, artwork, and discourse. The geographic diversity brings together whole sets of Jews who would not otherwise know each other: i've met young jews from Austria, Luxembourg, India, Mexico, etc. Artists, journalists, bankers, storytellers, technology entrepreneurs... even comedians!
It is almost impossible to get any sleep- there are too many people to meet.
