HN discussionSite seems to be in progress still - the "companies attending" list is empty ( http://hirelite.com/companies ) and so is the blog ( http://blog.hirelite.com/ ). Interesting concept though, looking forward to seeing which companies will be attending. Will you be updating the blog as new companies are added?
