Just one person. And one person out there will be introduced to you. You will have a chance to meet your BizTechDay buddy face to face on the morning of the conference. Find each other, chat for a bit, and then bolt over to our Buddy Table and you will each get a FREE copy of the Delivering Happiness book by Tony Hsieh (CEO of Zappos).
