Thrill to dark projects ranging from the expansion of Fortune 500 hegemony to the viral dissemination of mind-bending comedy propaganda. Technological scintillation probable. Amusement guaranteed. Mixed drinks consumed, perhaps provided, depending on our ability to evade the notice of conference and hotel staff.
