      <h3>About the Conj</h3>
      <p>
        Clojure/conj is the premier event in the Clojure community. 
        A three-day conference in Raleigh, North Carolina, it is the 
        single largest gathering of Clojure language designers, 
        hackers, and application developers.
      </p>
      <h4>This is the place to be:</h4>
      <ul class="bullets">
        <li>to meet, face-to-face, the people driving Clojure forward</li>
        <li>to discover the topics at the forefront of Clojure's design and features</li>
        <li>to learn about cutting-edge developments in language design, application development, and computer science</li>
        <li>to know the future of Clojure now</li>
      </ul>
      <h4>Most importantly, it's a good time.</h4>
      <p>
        Clojure/conj is human-scaled 
        and community-driven. We've planned it in gratitude to you, the 
        early adopters, craftsmen and craftswomen who have been making 
        Clojure and the Clojure community great.
      </p>
