From the site:
If you are curious about drawing, always wanted to learn, or use it every day, this event is for you! An unconference-style event means you can come and go as you please, even from session to session, and that you get to propose and even present the sessions you think would be most interesting.

From the GroupCard Blog:
We’re excited to announce that GroupCard has been acquired by InComm. Helping people come together to give their friends and family a meaningful gift has always been an important part of GroupCard. We created GroupCard with the basic principle that social expression and group gifting would be a major growth driver for the online prepaid business. Teaming with InComm will help us achieve an even broader social payments strategy in partnership with the leading product brands and retailers worldwide.
It’s wonderful to see software companies with a foothold in Milwaukee getting aquired. Way to go GroupCard!
