Shake and let settle, and you get the 60th JASC (Japan-American Student Conference)

Because you can get an orthodox description here, we aim to give you one with a little more flair. We are not claiming objectivity here. Remember that we loved our experience at JASC so much that, on one of the last days of the conference, we all volunteered to spend many uncompensated hours in the coming year organizing next year's JASC. So, these are not the words of any bloke off the street, but the fact that there were many of us willing to make this commitment should say something, right?

We answer the question posed in the title in our self-introductions. To see what we say, follow the links:
