For anyone on the East Coast, we're having a similar event at MIT in September, open to anyone. http://startupbootcamp.mit.edu/

Any details on the speakers?

Will this be recorded for those of us who can't make it down to the bay area?

Last years talks were live streamed if I recall and are still accessible at: http://www.justin.tv/startupschool . I'd say its safe to assume that'd also be the case this year.

Yes, you can catch the talks on Justin.tv again this year.

A few interesting new speakers this time: Andy Bechtolsheim (Sun), Ron Conway, Tom Preston-Warner (GitHub) and Brian Chesky (Airbnb).

That list probably isn't complete yet either, those are just the current confirmed speakers.

If I remember correctly, last year the list wasn't final until right around the time that acceptances were sent out.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You could have just emailed me and asked.

Here was my thought process: I had attended AngelConf last year, and wanted to see if it was going to happen again. I checked that site, and it was still the old stuff, and the time was up. So I assumed AngelConf was a one-time thing. Later on, I wondered about startup school and did the same thing: I checked the web site, and nothing new... So my brain recognized a pattern: you guys must be too busy this year to do…

AngelConf was run in 2010 too. http://angelconf.com/

Anything planned for the Midwest?

Sadly, no. There are definitely entrepreneurial/startup-minded people in the Midwest, but they are scattered and not organized, there's nothing approaching the concentration of talent and events that exists in the Bay Area.

That's one of the main reasons why I'm dropping everything and moving to San Francisco in about a week to work on my startup. As much as I like Chicago, the connections and resources just aren't there yet.

The list is definitely incomplete judging by the number of speakers at earlier Startup Schools.

Can anyone who has attended a past Startup School share their experience? What's the general atmosphere of the event? Is it similar to other conferences you've attended? Does it offer value on its own merits, or is it simply a day-long sales pitch for YC?
