couldn't agree more - the niche conferences are by far the best... some co-workers attended this one in San Diego earlier in the year and really enjoyed it...

Fred, I'm extremely passionate about community building particularly around music but I simply don't have the money for this especially w/ the new iphone coming out. And my boss will never subsidize this. Do you know if there's a discount for the passionate?

I don't but hopefully the organizers will see your comment and reply
Dave, Not trying to start a debate about which city is best but I'm curious why DC and not New York.

for this year, O'Reilly chose San Diego & DC as west / east coast options...
next year, we'll probably do SF bay area & NYC.

Fred,
Glad to hear you giving support to smaller, focused conferences. I'm organizing a one day conference called the Social Gaming Summit (http://www.socialgamingsummit.com) and one of your portfolio companies, Zynga, is planning to speak. Keep up the great blogging! Also happy to offer your readers a discount if they want to attend.

This is exactly the kind of event that makes sense, small and focused.
I'll try to go and if anyone else is interested, leave a comment and charles will find you and get you a discount
Fred - would love to see you there...will send you an email

Fred -- glad to hear you might be coming to the conference. I heard great things about GSP's West Coast swing and so I am optimistic for next week. But I didn't have a feel for what sort of VC presence there'd be.
I'll look out for you.
Hopefully we get the temperature down below 100 for our out of town guests. ;)

Dave McClure and the O'Reilly people do a great job.
Dave is a great host and does an awesome job with the schedule and speakers too.
I'll look out for you.
