    Don't make a huge deal out of being on camera and you will not be nervous. =)

    In all seriousness, this is likely targeted towards small start up forums it seems. Having work groups and panels of the guys who run the major forums now... would probably be better for most...

    I do not want to travel to San Francisco just for a day conference.

    I half-agree with you, but the way I'd word it is that "I do not want to travel to San Francisco just for a day of being marketed at."

    Brandon, maybe you can spin this off... but I am now tempted to host or do something...

    So what topics would be good to have?

    I figure it should be broken down into two sections, or at least 2 days.... one for general/or new forum owners... lead by guys who have the experience and big boards...

    and then having a day for a round table discussion/private just for big board owners. networking.

    And then have a session for everyone to mingle, hang out with the guys who do forums for a living.

    Are we thinking about doing a East Coast Conference? If so, being a Philly boy, I'm in.

    Personally, I'd like to see something less heavy on the sitting and listening to someone speak and more on something like ad:tech's 'expo floor' of course at a much smaller scale. In other words, instead of sitting in a chair all day and listening to someone pitch to us all day long, to walk around and look at vendor displays and talk to people you want to talk to at your own pace.

    Oh, you're close! I used to live out in Hightstown about 4 years ago.

    I actually was not planning to go, however, if I do end up going, I'll probably get the ticket around May if not a tiny bit after. I'd be interested in attending it this year if not next if I have the money to attend.

    I'm always tempted by the rather cheap tickets, but then I check the price of flights from the UK and think better of it!

    If you think the flights are bad, wait till you see the cost of hotels.

    That's a pretty good price for SF.
