Web 2.0 Expo starts off tomorrow. I’m pretty pumped about the event, though I don’t really have a real pass. I’m going to go anyways, but I’m not sure how I’m going to get in.
I never really understood why conferences cost so much. I suppose in the past, there was no other way to receive the information delivered at workshops and keynote. However, nowadays, with blogging and video broadcast, you can get everything in real-time. But of course, the real reason why people go to conference is to network. Call me naive, but it seems a bit weird to pay $1000 to meet people.
The crowd will definitely be different from that of Y Combinator’s Startup School. I’ll share my thoughts. I’ll see you there (maybe …)
