I am friends with some of the folks putting this together. Now that that's out of the way...
I am excited about the conference because I think the human factor is often missing from software development, and one of the hardest skill-sets to learn.
In an era where frameworks and libraries are ubiquitous, understanding and developing the right products and experiences is going to be increasingly important. A conference that focuses on these "timeless" skills is much more attractive to me personally than any one that is focused on a particular technology.
"Not tech" as in no sessions focusing on how to maximize your CoreData performance, or how to use Metal in your new iOS8 game. No talks that are technical in nature.

Doesn't that make you feel all warm and fuzzy?
