I'm glad you're a stickler about recruiters. I am too. I am 100% committed to not having recruiters at this event, even if it means turning down money. They will ruin the experience. For this particular event, the attendees will be primarily companies I know who are hiring and companies that read HN. I'll be monitoring the companies that sign up and kicking out people that I think are recruiters. I have a good handle on who is hiring tech talent in NYC right now, so I know the companies that are likely to show up. If they're not on my mental list, I'll be suspicious.
