CFUNITED 08 - Early Bird Special
Posted November 2, 2007 at 3:08 PM
This guy is going to TeraTech's CFUNITED 08. I just took advantage of the lower prices given by the early-early-bird special (available until tomorrow!). Last year, my journey down there was paid for, but this year I am on my own. It will be interesting to see if the price tag influences my experience. Probably not; seeing as it's 8 months away, I am sure I will have forgotten that I even paid for it by the time it rolls around. Regardless though, it is an awesome conference, well worth the price, and I look forward to seeing you all there!
Last year was my first CFUNITED experience and it was a great one to be sure. If you are interested in reading my review, take a look at my article over on the Fusion Authority.

I too am taking advantage of the early bird special. I already purchased my plane ticket and have the rental car reserved.

This is one of a handful of reasons I miss working for a big company. They paid to send me out to one local (namely cf.objective here in the Minneapolis area) and one out of state conference a year. I was at the 2005 CFUnited, and thought that overall it was the most useful conference I had ever been to.
Oh, and I think you can deduct that conference fee on your taxes since you paid out of pocket, can't you?

@Joe,
Looking forward to seeing you there.
@Jeremy,
Yeah, I work for a small company so none of that stuff is part of the deal. Last year, I just happened to get lucky and got asked to go down and write a review. Most of the stuff I do is out of pocket. Not sure how that works with Taxes. I feel like it only works if you have over a certain $ amount or percentage of your annual income or something. Maybe I will take the time to find out this year.

If only it were free, and located in Los Angeles...

@Nafisa,
Most definitely. And thanks for helping to put together such a great conference. Word on the street is, you and Liz mastermind the whole operation :)
