There were several attendees at the >play conference today who did know that >play is completely conceived and managed by the Berkeley students. Quite a few people I talked to were really surprised that students can put together such a streamlined conference. A reporter from Current TV , Joslyn, said that looking at the professional quality of EXPO and panel setups she had assumed that we were all some professionals working for a fee or something.

Every bit of >play organization work was done by students, we set the agenda, the panels, selected the panelists and topics. The sponsors with their generous support trusted us fully and did not even try to nudge us in one way or other.

On a side note, Current TV is the famous Al Gore created TV. You should expect to see >play on it. I saw the reporters shooting interviews of panelists and EXPO exhibitors.
