LugRadio Live USA 2008, the 'rock-conference' from the team behind the
popular LugRadio podcast (http://www.lugradio.org), brings the
successful and unique formula of the UK LugRadio Live events to The
Metreon in San Francisco on the 12th and 13th April 2008. The event is
supported extensively by Google and also supported by Dice.
LugRadio Live USA 2008 brings together over 30 speakers across three
stages, 30+ exhibitors, a range of BOF sessions, debate panels,
lightbulb talk sessions, demos and much more, all wrapped up in the
unique event that the UK incarnation has become known for, combining an
incredibly loose, social, inclusive, and amusing atmosphere - if you are
new to LugRadio Live, it is nothing you will have seen before.

this, the LugRadio team will be recording a live performance of their
