I’m heading to the hugely anticipated BlogOn event next week. It’s put on by Chris Shipley and crew, who also do the industry defining “DEMO” conference every year in Arizona. Chris only does huge conferences, and this one should be no exception.
I was hoping to speak, but timings simply didn’t work out. However I’ll be there kicking up trouble, chatting folk up and generally plugging b5 and the book.
More than that, though, I’ll be soaking it in, connecting with new people, reconnecting with old friends and generally having a grand old time.
Most folk will know I wasn’t intending to go to this event, however a recent contract (that required an Onsite stint at the same time as BlogOn) was cancelled. So, off I go.
So, if you want to:
- connect
- grab a meal / coffee
- do an interview
- share a room
- pitch an idea
Just let me know. I’m also planning a few outings, including a trip to one of the Peer 1 datacenters and a few other things. I’ll likely be in town until the Thursday so that I can fit all of that in, so let me know if you want to hook up at any point.
Oh, and if you had been thinking of going but hadn’t yet pushed the button, the discount code JW2005 will give you a 50% discount on admission. No, I don’t get any earnings from this, it’s just a personal code to hand out to friends, family and readers.
See you in New York City next week!

If I had a car, I’d so be there.
