While this sounds like an incredible concept, cannot help but notice that islandconference.org is not a professional website. There is no identification or contact information about the organization associated to the conference.  If princeton university is the organizer, they have the knowledge and resources to create a valid website.  But there is no privacy policy, copyright, or other legal stuff.  This site feels like it was thrown together by someone new to building websites or promoting conferences.

Can a professional in the field please confirm the organization and conference?

Thanks!
