\nSummary:
\nThe usability of sign-up forms is a bugbear of any i
 nterface design professional. But what if the real hurdle wasn't usability,
  but motivation? Josh will show you techniques to motivate people to sign u
 p for your web application, from leveraging social influence to getting rid
  of the sign up form completely!
