Each edition of the Main Event tells a story. After coming up with the manifesto, we were honored to have Michael Kutsche creating the poster and capturing the essence of The Beginning of the End.

The Beginning of the End

September 15-19, 2015

2015 was an emotional rollercoaster. We struggled to gain recognition and support, so we thought this would be our last edition. When we were about to give up, Lenovo came to the rescue!
