In My Own Backyard

I’ve been agonizing lately over which conferences to go to this spring, comparing speakers, venues and fees, to get the best value for my money and time. I have narrowed it down to two in the U.S. and must make up my mind in the next few days to get the early-bird rate. But wait! I was delighted to discover last night that there will be a tech conference right here, close enough to my new backyard to be an obvious choice, and very appealing even if I didn’t already know a couple of people who will be there. Hicktech sounds like a good opportunity to meet some people who are into the stuff I’m into. And I don’t have to fly anywhere or go through security scanners. Yay!
