Greener Gadgets Conference Feb 1st in New York

I'll be attending the Greener Gadgets conference on February 1st here in New York. There are a ton of interesting speakers, including Natalie Jeremijenko (whom I've never actually seen speak); Ryan Block from Engadget; folks from Nokia, HP, and Sony talking their environmental programs; all sorts of good stuff. It looks like a conference big enough to bring in some smart thinkers but small (and short) enough to enjoy.

Student pricing is $75 for the day; Corporate pricing is $250. Jill from Greener Gadgets set up a discount code for Boing Boing readers: Boingboing20Discount will get your 20% off. If you come out, send me a ping! We'll establish our own little BBG bloc at the McGraw-Hill Conference Center.

Joel, the discount code does not work.

Same here, "Boingboing20Discount" doesn't seem to be recognized for either the student or non-student registration. In any case, $200 is still too spendy for me to consider the show as I would really only be interested in the exhibit hall anyways. Aren't there any exhibit hall only passes available for like $40-50?

Ah, nevermind, I just noticed that what I took to be an exhibit hall is being called a "gallery space", which sounds like a few tables and an installation or two.

I'll look forward to hearing your reports from the meeting, Joel.

Sweet sassy-molassy! this is definitely something I'm gonna go to! I am one of the few students actually on the sustainability committee at FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology), so maybe I can actually get them to send me! Worse comes to worse I can probably afford to go it that discount actually works... anyone know if its active?
