There's nothing quite like discussing startup challenges with other single founders. And where else can you talk at length with the speakers in small groups at lunch and over drinks?

Now...time to get some work done so I have plenty of questions and a few landing pages to get critiqued by April 30.


Sweet!!

Best conference I went to last year, and quite possibly ever. I normally only go to conferences for networking and nap through the sessions and I didn't skip a single session or nap a minute last year.

This conference flew totally under the radar and a conference anyone can get something from.


Last year's conf was AWESOME. Patio11, HNshah, and Peldi will be there this year. Can't wait.


They all made my head spin. By the time Andrew Warner was done the first session the conference had paid for itself.

Patio11 and HNshah holding comedy jam sessions / teardowns together was great. How can we forget about cows.


I went to MicroCong last year. Long way to go from the UK. If you can't afford Business of Software, go to MicroConf. It's much better than the European ESWC.

I wrote a blog article about each talk and a few other bits. Most speakers let me post the MP3 of their talk as well.

Conference was great last year! Speakers were all interesting and talking with the attendees about their projects was fascinating.


Bummer I missed this last year. Definitely planning to attend this year.


I'd go if I lived in the US.
