There’s a great line-up of speakers for the Community Next conference. It’s a single Saturday in February at Stanford. If you’re into making the Web a better place and can get to the Bay Area, check this out.
As far as conferences go, this is cheap ($195). And it can be even cheaper if you get a discount code from Noah.
I am pumped you are going to make it. I wonder if I would get more or less signups based on lowering/raising the price….
See you soon,
Noah
Joel Spolsky has a great article on pricing:

It focuses on software and unit-based sales. The lesson of price signaling, to which you allude, still applies.
That said, I think you want to do everything you can to encourage the smalltime web people to attend. Similarly, I like how the student price is way cheap.
