I totally would have loved to see what web 2.0 stuff was presented, as opposed to some of the more generic travel conferences I have attended. We've done some ourselves (but I'll refrain from splattering a link in here) so I think we're on the right track but something this focused would be a very worthy resource to attend, me thinks. Their conference site still shows 2007 dates. Any ideas when the 2008 conference will be? Man, I didn’t even know about this conference until I just found this (now old) blog post.

Will be interesting to see if their audience are more receptive to Web2.0 stuff than the trade attendees" Too right. I chaired a conference full of people that manage trade associations and professional bodies in the UK. I had to quickly changed my opening presentation from Web 2.0 to why you should have a Web site! “enjoy.

Costs? Next metro station? Map location?) Just to name a few. ;) Have fun.
