    The conference is a collaborative effort put together by a hack-savvy group to educate the masses.

    From my past experience, nearly all efforts by a group that contains "hack" in their name or description hasn't been able to "educate the masses". Most of these people just don't have what it takes to do that. What they need to do instead is to educate the media (TV, newspapers, radio, et cetera) and those will "educate" the populus.
