On March 26, as I will be attending Headspace in New York, a Free exploration of the scents, others will be looking at the Business of Free at Freemium Summit in San Francisco and Pay $449 for the privilege.
What's the Freemium all about?
"The first Freemium Summit is a one day event focused on exploring what
it takes to succeed under the freemium business model. Across all
segments of the media landscape, entrepreneurs and executives are
pioneering models that combine a free offering with a premium, paid
offering. This hybrid business model is one of the most exciting areas
of business model innovation impacting the world of media and the
Freemium Summit will explore the most important topics on the minds of
leading practitioners."

There is a Freemium Blog not related to the event as far as I know if you want to dig deeper into it for $0, just add time.
Try some, buy some?
Will it last or is it just a fad?
