Armin,

Thanks for the popsting. I would suggest that US folks consider this conference. My flight to Germany was 550 round trip that combined with the conference registration and hotel make this conference less expensive than DevCon and somewhat on par with the others.

In fact this conference, IMHO, is one of the best in the world. The exposure to developers from all over the world, combined with the hospitality of the German people, along with the excellent and plentyful food and beverages (they have this stuff called beer and it is really good) makes for a great experience.
