Past Conference InfoThis is a featured page

Because Idealist no longer retains a history of the COOL conference, and because I can't find a list anywhere, I thought we should compile a list of information from past conferences for inclusion on the conference website.

Can folks help fill in the gaps here? And if you have any additional information (keynote speakers, attendance numbers, etc.), feel free to add it in!
