Looking forward to Business of Software 2010

Sep 24, 2010

I never had a chance to attend to the Business of Software Conference before - an annual event organized by Neil Davidson, joint CEO of Red Gate Software. I'm across the ocean, so, you know, I've always had my excuses not to go.

But after reviewing videos from the previous conferences, reading lots and lots of positive reviews... Well, just looking at the speakers list is enough. That's just not something you want to miss. Joel Spolsky, Dharmesh Shah, Seth Godin, Eric Sink - to name a few.

This is going to be awesome. And not just because of the speakers:
  1. Attendees. You get a chance to "rub shoulders" with the most passionate, creative, experienced and like-minded dudes in the industry. From large corporations to small startups coming from all-over the world, even Brazil and Russia are in the list. All the people I feel privileged to meet
  2. Networking and business-partnering, not just rubbing shoulders. Maybe even starting-up a brand new venture with a new partner, who knows.
  3. Autumn is the best time to see "New England" - the city of Boston and the states of Massachusetts and NY. I recommend you rent a car and go spend a couple of days in the Adirondack mountains or The Cape after the conference - just to digest all the great info you got. Cape Cod is pretty quiet and deserted this time of year, so you can stay at a 5-star ocean-view resort for a reasonable price and put your thoughts in order.
See you in a week!

If you have a spare slot before/after the conference, the Aquarium is 10 minutes walk from the hotel and well worth the visit.
