I feel like Letterman doing this, but oh well:

1. The keynotes: MTV's Ian Rowe on how they are rocking the vote 2.0 style, Antti Ohrling, Co-Founder of Blyk, the first free mobile service in the world for youth 16-24, award-winning director Michael Franzini presenting photos and video of over "100 Young Americans" and Damon Whiteside, SVP of marketing at Walt Disney Records (just confirmed!)

2. The conversations: I'll be interviewing the creators of the popular and hilarious Midwest Teen Sex Show about using humor to reach teens while Mortified founder Dave Nadelberg will be interviewing a special guest (tba) about how teens have changed and what essentially remains the same throughout time (mortifying angst!)

3. The panels: So many good ones: Girls are the new geeks, Totally wired hip hop, How teen sites can prevent cyberbullying, Totally wired teen superstars, mobile, social networking, widgets and apps, user generated content....see the full agenda for panels and panelists here. (um, MC Hammer, founder of DanceJam.com, is a panelist!)

4. The attendees: Last year we had over 350 on site -- people kept telling me how impressed they were...with each other! Ypulse readers are a special breed - smart, passionate about youth and very connected. I continue to hear about friendships formed and business partnerships forged.

5. Lunch: I'm not talking chow, but our "user generated" lunchtime roundtables suggested and moderated by our attendees. We make our lunch long enough for you all to eat and talk shop.

6. The pre-conferences: We have four to choose from this year, all completely unique -- Casual Gaming For Youth, Ypulse Books/Publishing, Deep Dive: Understanding Tweens & Teens, and Building a Youth Movement.

7. Exclusive screening: "American Teen" followed by a panel featuring three of the teens from the film. Check out their Facebook page here.

8. Case studies: You'll hear best practices throughout panels and from our sponsors: Fuse, Alcatel Lucent, Premise, Mr. Youth and MyYearbook. There are only two sponsored case study slots left! Email us for more info...

9. Research: Our research sponsor C&R Research will be sharing their latest findings from their TeensEyes panel of teens and tweens.

10. Price: Compared to other youth marketing conferences, Ypulse is a steal. If you register before our early adopter deadline May 30, it's even cheaper. And we are one of the only marketing conferences offering an affordable non-profit rate. Don't wait -- register now and I'll see you in July!
