Look at all costs, not just airfare. Hotel, conference, food, etc. All meals are included in Germany. That's not the case with other conferences. Oh, and you will NEVER go away hungry at the German DevCon. My first time there, I joked that after all the food, I wouldn't be able to get on the plane to come home because I was over the weight limit.

>I wasnt aware of Rainer's record. I may have to rethink this. Airfare to Frankfurt is not bad for that timeframe. Although AZ is better. But i agree w/ Tracy... no spreken zie deutsche could be a problem for a tech conference trip, although i wouldnt mind muddling thru it.

>Is this the main page for the conference? http://devcon.dfpug.de/ It appears as though there's no english version of that page.
