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. ;)

I went to the first GSP in San Jose, and it was excellent.

Dave is a great host and does an awesome job with the schedule and speakers too.

I'll be there and agree this an awesome conference. We'll be discussing mobile and social networks on a panel on Tuesday.

for this year, O'Reilly chose San Diego & DC as west / east coast options...

next year, we'll probably do SF bay area & NYC.

Dave, Not trying to start a debate about which city is best but I'm curious why DC and not New York.

I attended Graphing Social Patterns West, and highly recommend this event.
Dave McClure and the O'Reilly people do a great job.

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.socialgamingsumm...) 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.

Not surprising....I think the best COMPANIES are small emerging companies that focus intensely on a specific market sector.

Thats a great location, because its a four block walk from the Crystal City shopping district and the Crystal City metro.

I miss DC sooo much.

Dave McClure ("DMC") is a gifted M.C. and conf organizer, and extremely steeped in this subject matter.

He's behind this gig and it is sure to deliver.

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?

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...
