How about we try something a bit different to your common-or-garden attendees list? Y'know, in an effort to make it more befitting of the event.

 

(If this is just complicating things, then I expect it will be deleted by someone sensible, but here goes anyway.)

 

The Rules

 

1. Write your name only. And feel free to link it to your blog / company website or whatever.

2. Let other attendees write things about you.

3. Then write stuff next to other people's names (more the merrier).

4. Oh yeah, and try to keep to alphabetical order by 1st name and copy the loose format of the other ones.
