It's cool but could still be jazzed up a bit e.g.:

This event brings together leading pragmatists and innovative practices...

Conveys the most pertinent info, the what, the where and the when. 
Also the where to find more info.  Doesn't say anything about who

BTW, NTK is monthly these days and the current issue came out last

a mid-month WSFII special edition in order to get the word out.
