Or is this a meeting of the minds of both? Very tempted to go based on what I read here...

And on top of that, I would have more money for hotel/taxi expenses. So I am going to plan ahead for Gnomedex 2010. I have an interview at Apple tomorrow, and I am feeling good about it. Very good. Very confident. I am determined to work in that company, and by doing so, i'll be able to go to Gnomedex next year. Have a great conference. My friend David Banther will be there! :) My time is coming. ;) I would have gone, if it weren’t for getting laid off. And on top of that, I would have more money for hotel/taxi expenses.

I had hoped to attend again this year, but unfortunately it just isn't in the budget (thanks, economy!). If I could go to only one conference ever again in my lifetime, I'd choose Gnomedex. I've been to countless conferences where the presentations were dry and boring, where the 'rubbing elbows' was like re-living high school or made you want to go take a shower. Gnomedex is in a class all by itself and Chris is dead right, it's inspiring. The fact that I can't go this year is a crushing disappointment. Add in the Seattle waterfront as a bonus and you *have* to attend! Ok, I'm going to go cry for a bit now... :( sniffle, sniffle I had the pleasure of attending Gnomedex last year.

Gnomedex 7 had Guy Kawasaki talking about branding and "mission statement" that had a positive influence on my practice. Ignite presenters were not only amazing, but their format influenced the way I structure my own presentations. To answer the question Gnomedex seems to find a way to go from a nice to a need, even for me even coming at this conference sideways. Just beneath the surface it seems to have a lot of pull. Many dental conferences cost over 1-2k to attend, and I think Gnomedex provides much more value than almost any other conference I've been to. Food's good too.

I've heard great things about past events. Wondering when tickets will go back on sale at Evenbrite? I'm seeing there are still several remaining, but Eventbrite page says sales have "ended." Thanks!
