Starting with a social evening on the Friday 4th, the conference itself is a two-dayer over the weekend of the 5th and 6th. There's also a hands-on development event on Monday.

The location is beautiful: the Faculty House at Columbia University.

Around 40 tickets are still available and they cost $100.

Louis Landry, Sam Moffatt, Ian MacLennan, Mark Dexter (The four Joomla development coordinators)
Andrew Eddie
Hannes Papenberg (1.6 release team)
Aaron Newton (Mootools team)

There's also going be a large group of 3rd party developers in attendance, including:

Me? I've been told I'm babysitting that weekend but the conference will be streamed live online for those of us who can't be there.
