All of the attendees to the 2010 New Jersey TEDx event were asked a series of questions that helped to place them in relevant discussion groups. The main question was in regards to their personal role in the development or advancement of the library sciences. This helped to identify which attendees should be present at individual presentations due to limited space.

The other questions involved a variety of background questions to determine if possible connections between attendants could be made at the conference. In this manner, a bootstrap entrepreneur would find it easy to locate an open source computer coder for a program idea.
