So Sadly True?

Daniela Hinrichs on 11.11.2006 at 18:18 h

What was the highest price you ever paid attending a ~~lousy~~ web-too... conference? 3.000 bucks for a ticket? And, is this the beginning of the unconference aera?

Mhmm, let me think. Which affordable conferences could I recommend?

Definitely reboot! I´ve heard a lot about LeWeb3 and will be in Paris this year. XING me, if you´re going as well. DLD is also on my radar and I´ve read good feedback about lift in swissy Switzerland. Not to forget mentioning Supernova. The Barcamp in Berlin disapeared like ice in the sunshine, after my daughter decided being ill exactly on that weekend.

I ~~know~~ have heard that TED costs something around 5.500$. Invitation only. Did anyone go there? Did they speak about me? I obviously couldn´t afford the ticket! ;-D

See you soon!

What about Gnomedex? :)

Chris, you are doing wonderful cartoons! If your conference is only half as good (and I don´t have to rob my piggybank), count me in for the next Gnomedex session!

Seattle, I am coming :-D

Web 2point2 http://www.web2point2.org/ was only $32.95 and included a great t-shirt, 2 lunches, free drinks and some great conversations...

What was the best of the proposed web 2point2 talks? The importance of social media?

Coming up shortly -- two more un-conferences in Germany you might enjoy:

Barcamp Cologne, Nov 25/26 http://barcampcologne.pbwiki.com
Barcamp Nuremberg, Dec 16/17 http://barcampnuernberg.pbwiki.com

As with most Barcamps, there is no cost involved for participants (except your own time and energy).

The best of the 2point2 talks? hmmmm - I think the BrainJam that kicked it off was the best session, but the closing conversation on what we want to see next was really insightful.
