I average less than one conference a year so I’m no expert. Basically I can’t stand most of them. I did, however, attend Neil’s Business of Software conference in San Jose last year and decided half way through it that I wouldn’t miss the next one, if there was another. Well there is, and this year Joel Spolsky is helping Neil organize it and it’s being held in Boston. The lineup is already impressive including Joel, Seth Godin, Eric Sink, Richard Stallman, and Jason Fried.

I’ve already purchased my ticket as last year’s attendees got early dibs. The rumour is that the remaining tickets will be publicly available soon so get on the mailing list and seriously consider making the trip.

The other conference is an easy commute to Mesh in Toronto. I missed last year’s due to client meeting conflicts but I was at the first. I found it to be less technical and more marketing focused but regardless it’s a chance to meet and hang out with people in our own backyard.
