If you have one already, that’s great! But no worries if you don’t :)

We are also giving people free tickets to come in on Sunday to watch the developers demo their products and explain how they came up with their idea, how they built it and how it works.

With that said, we’ll also be offering cash equivalent.

If anyone has livestock that was raised for consumption and once they can change it’s course they wanted to ensure the longest life possible for that animal that ended in a natural burial… How is that done?

What is the best way to do that? Is that possible?

There are vegan hackers and vegan CEOs just the same.

There is a huge opportunity to educate people here and we should use the attention to help people understand how to pull that off in a way that doesn’t end in consuming it. Any guidance you can offer there would be amazing.

I’m a developer myself, but not in this arena. The technical level of this get-together would likely be beyond my scope, and yours as well.

Does that provide a glimpse of the answer?

Cute idea on the surface, but treating a sentient creature as a prize is callous. It’s not an iPad, it’s alive and it feels.
