Sat, listened, made copious notes, and inadvertently stumbled onto a companywide in-joke.
They were walking through configuration options, including translating MB into other languages. Apryl (my tech person) raised her hand and asked, "What if you want to use a language that isn't currently supported?" The developer, who had several dozen languages already available for insta-translation (draws the languages from unicode.org), asked which language she wanted. She answered, "Cherokee."
All of the developers in the room froze.
Apparently, one of them had been mock-pestering the MB Mr. Language Person for over half a year, saying, "Where's my Cherokee report?" and MBMLP was confident that, whatever language people asked for, he'd have it up there. And then along come us two, with our odd questions.
The MB developers asked Apryl, "Did Sean {the developer} put you up to this?" but she had artwork from her studio with her which used Cherokee script and so showed them that her question was genuine.
Aside from that amusement, the conference was really good. I was an attendee, not a presenter or a speaker. We both got a lot of good information about how MB works, how we can take advantage of all the features...like I said, it was like a three-day support forum. Very valuable, especially since we're just switching to the software and haven't used it before.
