The conference consists of parties, a keynote by Chris Pirillo, and presentations by various leaders in tech-centered fields. At the most recent conference, notable speakers included Rob Malda of Slashdot fame, Tim O'Reilly, and John C. Dvorak, as well as others.
Started as a "a tech conference for everyone else", what Gnomedex is exactly about is not really known. It is fun, informative and generally enjoyable. Topics are vast, but activities are usually centered around a theme; this year, at Gnomedex 3.0, the theme was Fellowship of the Geeks. A bit odd, the mixture makes up a truly unique experience unparalleled elsewhere.
