Don't rule out the foreign conferences such as Prague and Germany. Many times airline prices to Europe are less than US domestic. I've been to both the above conferences and they're fabulous.
>Jay - I'm one of those types. Not many sheckels in the company's training budget sadly, so the costs would fall to moi. In the past i have attended (on my own dime) the Atlanta Fox show that Kevin Cully puts on, and i thought it was money well spent. But its rare. The Atlanta show had some particular sessions that i wanted to attend so i bit the bullet. Same is true with SWFox but I have not yet decided. For me, timing would be perfect to catch some specific sessions. And i dare say that it may be the last one. Plus the fact the DougH said he's buying beer for all attendees is a plus.
