The Etech conference put on by O'Reilly is coming up near the end of April and I'm already getting excited for it. Last year's was the best conference I've ever been to. In contrast to many conferences I've attended, the panels and presentations were just as valuable as the hallway conversations between panels.

This year looks very promising, with tracks on Internet applications, social software, nanotech and hardware, and the nebulous "untethered". And it's a bargain at ~$690 for all the panels when you use O'Reilly's Friends and Family discount code (et03ff) to get 30% off. See you there?
