Conferences, conferences and more conferences - and discounts

I don’t mean to try and compete for the highest attendance of events and conferences, given the track record of my friend David, but the next three months are going to be busy on that front.

First will come Web 2.0 in San Francisco (Oct 5/7), which promises to attract a spectacular crowd. Then off to New York for BlogOn (Oct 17/18), which should also be very interesting. And in December, I’ll visit “Mother Land” for the second edition of Les Blogs (aka Les Blogs II) that will take place in Paris (Dec 5/6). Les Blogs I was fantastic, and I am looking forward to helping buddy Loic organize the conference.

I am still undecided about Syndicate back in San Francisco (Dec 12/14), but I would not be surprised if I added it to the list as well. And of course there will be a few talks, events, geek get together and schmoozing parties. Not to mention three sessions of the Search SIG (dates and location will be announced in due course).

So if you are attending one of these events and want to get together, feel free to send me an email at  jeff [dot] clavier [at] gmail [dot] com.

By the way, for you Software Only readers interested in attending BlogOn, feel free to use the discount code JC2005 to get a $695 rate. And if you want an even more exclusive discount, send me an email to get a special code. I got a very limited number of these super discount tickets, so get going quickly!

Even though Web 2.0 is completely sold out they are not even doing a live webcast of all the sessions. I am surprsed and disappointed that Web 2.0 is not following the lead of AlwaysOn during their live webcast of their conference this summer, the live blogging sessions kept all the speakers in check. It doesn't seem to be in the true spirit of what web 2.0 truly is not to to do live webcast. It is so Web 1.0 to not do live webcasts and not allow real time blogging while speakers are presenting, podcasts are after the fact and static, live webcasts and live blogging permit participants to dynamically get involved and influence the presentations to make sure the speakers are keeping honest.
