Singularity08 Web (Developer) Conference
Updated! A self-described “kick-ass conference,” Singularity08 is a gathering of web developers and thinkers who are among the most recognized and successful internet personalities. It’s October 24-26 and you can learn more at the website www.singularity08.com. The Bliss Agency has purchased a ticket for the event and since it’s a web-based conference, we can all share in the presentations and speaker events through live streaming video. Let’s work together to get a projecter and cool space to use for a couple days and attend a real web developer conference right here in the Tri-Ciities!

This is awesome! I’d be game for pitching in some $$ for part of the group ticket.
I’d have to check but I might be able to get the conference room/projector here at the office lined up if we wanted to all gather in one spot. If not I’m sure we could find somewhere to congregate.
Wonder if we could get one or two hip local companies to sponsor the fee?

I have to say I like the idea of the conference, and I am tempted to be willing to attend it, but I want to see more of the actual sessions they plan on speaking on, unless someone has some first hand experince of this conference.

The Bliss Agency will be glad to sponsor the event and get the ticket. I still don’t have all the details as the website appears to be mid-construction. I just hope they truly have the platform to support super-high-demand video. I realize they have some major podcasters and so forth there, but I was a little wary with the statement “custom conference application.”

Hey, I’m willing to pitch in and help you guys pay the fee.
I too share some concerns based on the website, but hey, we gotta support new ways of doing things and this sounds like a great start.
If the price of gas and energy in general keeps rising, who knows, SIGGRAPH and NAB may end up like this someday soon!
I don’t know any of the speakers, there sure seem to be a lot!
It would almost work better if they all submitted their presentations in advance and then you could pick and choose what/when to watch.
Being its a bunch of web developers, its probably in a continuous state of flux up until (and maybe even during) the event.
Too bad we can’t do like our clients do us and only pay after its all done and we’re happy!
