Find out which US based speaker presenting at Scotch you are nearest
to ... hide in their luggage ... hello Edinburgh.
Ah, if only :)
Or look out for a compo in a future edition of the CFWeekly
podcast.... well, for the conference ticket anyway.

They have not published a schedule yet for this year's conference.
The schedule for LAST year is here:
http://www.360conferences.com/downloads/Schedule.pdf
I decided to go to 360|Flex based on recommendations from other people
who said last year's conference was very good.

As much as I'd absolutely LOVE to go to that one, I doubt I could convince
my company to send me to the UK for a conference when there are similar ones
here.

If you make it to cf.Objective(), say "Hi!" :)
I can't go to WebManiacs due to a scheduling conflict (with a cat show). I
was asked to speak but had to turn them down :(

Rick,
I cannot find the list of topics and schedule on flex360 website. Is it
something that is still unknown?
Thanks

I've been given official permission to attend 360|Flex in Atlanta next
month. Booked my room at the Omni Hotel at CNN Center yesterday.
The 360|Flex web site doesn't do a particularly good job publishing
the discount code for their block of rooms.. but it's there if you
hunt via google :)

Thanks for the feedback Shawn. I've put in my request for either WebManiacs
or CFObjective.
CFObjective because it does have a lot to offer for more advanced
developers. WebManiacs because what it offers for the price is too good to
pass up.

Well, I'm content chair for cf.Objective() so I may be a little biased (but
I'm also on the advisory board for CFUNITED)...
cf.Objective() is designed to be different from CFUNITED.
CFUNITED has long established itself as the biggest ColdFusion-focused event
in the world. It has the most attendees (over 900 in 2007), the most
speakers, the most tracks, the most sessions and covers the broadest
possible range of topics that might interest CFers. It has a lot of sponsors
and exhibitors. It has something for everyone, from a full-on "bootcamp" to
frameworks and advanced stuff and it even has non-CF topics that CFers might
find interesting such as a track on "management" stuff. CFUNITED has also
traditionally had New Atlanta and Microsoft as sponsors - and speakers -
adding to the variety.
http://cfunited.com/go/topics
cf.Objective() is smaller (100 attendees in 2006, 200 attendees in
2007 and we're hoping for 400 in 2008 - a number we probably won't exceed in
future years in order to maintain the "small conference"
feel and the ease of networking). cf.Objective() has always been focused
just on advanced ColdFusion topics and frameworks, with an emphasis on Adobe
ColdFusion. For example, in 2007 it was *the* conference to learn about the
new features in ColdFusion 8 before its release. This year cf.Objective()
has formal tracks, including an RIA track (that is still mostly focused on
ColdFusion). There are also some two hour in-depth sessions, three of which
are going to be hands on (Advanced ColdBox, Advanced ColdSpring, Agile
Development).
http://cfobjective.com/sessions.cfm
Is there overlap between the two conferences? Well, yes, of course there is
*some* overlap. This year, CFUNITED has a frameworks track which means it is
going to be repeating a number of talks from the
cf.Objective() frameworks track (as well as some new talks you won't see at
cf.Objective()). There are a number of other talks that you will see at both
conferences but when you look the topics published for both conferences
(cf.Objective() has the full schedule posted, CFUNITED is still selecting
more sessions) you might be surprised at just how little overlap there
actually is. Even where you might expect overlap on tracks (RIA, IDEs/Tools,
Deployment/Platform), the different focus of the conferences shows and there
is actually very little duplication.
I'm attending both conferences - cf.Objective() as an attendee, CFUNITED as
a speaker. If you held a gun to my head and told me to pick just one CF
conference to attend, I would pick cf.Objective() because I get more out of
it as an advanced CFer. If you made me pick just one conference to attend,
regardless of technology, I'd pick SD West (amazing C++ / Java / C# / design
patterns content!). If budget allowed, I'd definitely attend both
cf.Objective() and CFUNITED in North America. If money was really no object,
I'd also attend webDU, Scotch on the Rocks and MAX Europe!
Hope that helps?
Don't forget the early bird for CFUNITED ends on Saturday - January 5th!

cf.Objective() 2008 has three hands on sessions this year: ColdSpring 1337,
Agile Development and Advanced ColdBox. These are two hour sessions. In
addition, there is a two hour Flex 3 for ColdFusion developers session (not
hands on tho') as part of the RIA track.

Good points. If we're recommending more general "good conferences"
then I would suggest SD West / SD East. I went to SD West a few years
back and it blew my mind and really got the creative juices flowing.
Highly recommended.

(SD West is in March, SD East aka SD Best Practices is in Boston in October).

If you have any interest in Java I strongly suggest No Fluff Just Stuff.
Honestly even if Java is not your thing it really offers a good wealth of
content not Java specific like agile programming, OO concepts, Functional
Programming. The sessions are just like the title no fluff just straight
into a subject and good discussions. My favorite part of NFJS is it is a
traveling conference so generally there is no travel budget (as they visit
many of the major cities in the US) and the others in attendance are from
the area so its a good local networking experience.

And, to toot our own horn so to speak, we have hands-on sessions; we're the
only conference I know of that does this.

Thanks guys...
I'll add those two to my list. Cutter is actually speaking at Webmaniacs so
unfortunately no other team member will probably be able to go to that one.

Hey everyone...I've got a question about conferences...
My boss just asked our team to indicate which (if any) conference we might
wish to attend this year. I know about the big ones:
CFUnited
MAX
CFObjective
But I also don't want to limit myself to only CF conferences. I'd also be
interested in attending conferences about Flash, Flex, Javascript, etc.
Would you all mind listing out a few conferences that you've heard of, and
that might be included in the technology list above?
