Mako has just blogged this about the conference (which i've been helping
to organize!):
On the weekend of April 20-21, Students for Free Culture is
going to be holding its annual conference, FCX2013, at New York
Law School in New York City. As a long-time SFC supporter and
member, I am enormously proud to be giving the opening keynote
address.
Although the program for Sunday is still shaping up, the
published Saturday schedule looks great. If previous years are
any indication, the conference can serve as an incredible
introduction to free culture, free software, wikis, remixing,
copyright, patent and trademark reform, and participatory
culture. For folks that are already deeply involved, FCX is
among the best places I know to connect with other passionate,
creative, people working on free culture issues.
I’ve been closely following and involved with SFC for years and
I am particularly excited about the group that is driving the
organization forward this year. If you will be in or near New
York that weekend — or if you can make the trip — you should
definitely try to attend.
FCX2013 is pay what you can with a $15 suggested donation. You
can register online now. Travel assistance — especially for
members of active SFC chapters — may still be available. I hope
to see you there!

It's coming up pretty soon, but I wanted to ping everyone about it again
to see if anyone is able to go.
Also, if you have a blog, or some social media profile (reddit, twitter,
statusnet, tumblr) would you be willing to help spread the word about
the conference? I submitted Mako's post on a few sites already:
