I’ll be at O’Reilly Media’s Emerging Technology Conference (ETech) next week in San Diego. I wasn’t going to make it there this year — too much work to do here — but in addition to the always-great sessions, two things helped change my mind.

Phil Windley, Executive Producer of IT Conversations, has organized a meetup Tuesday night. If you’ll be at ETech or just hanging around San Diego, please join us. You can get the details and sign up on Eventful.

Werner Vogels, CTO of Amazon, is the keynote speaker (Tuesday morning) and he’s asked me to give a short presentation on how we’ve used Amazon’s Web Services as the infrastructure for GigaVox Audio Lite.

See you in San Diego.
