Semi-Permanent 05

Did anyone else attend the Semi-Permanent 05 conference this last weekend at Lincoln Center? It was... semi-interesting. The most important thing I learned was that most people can't give a presentation to save their lives, unfortunately. But despite their inability to explain coherently what it is that they are currently doing in the design world, the program and Semi-P website swear that the roster of speakers are all important to design and doing interesting things. ;) Worth a look. Would be curious to hear other opinions about the conference if anyone else attended...
