hope your fine since Reboot10
Count me in for this Web2.0 Expo stuff

And ’til then on Twitter, friendfeed, Jaiku…and and and… ;)))

Timestamps – the server is in the US that is why. ;)

Hey, I travel in style — of course that’s not cheap…! ;)

But yeah, of course I’ve seen that the generall admittance is around 20 Euros, but I’m sure as hel not going to fly all the way up just to wander the halls…so of course I would want to attend some of the events, which then puts the price tag between 350 and 1300 Euros…

Probably I’m generally unsatisfied with how such events go, what they cost, what’s offered and what people hang out there, so maybe I’m just venting a bit right now…!? But of course none of this is meant as a personal offence, as you hopefully know…!? :)

Anyway, maybe I’ll get to see you in person at BarCamp Munich and we can discuss this and lots of other stuff, instead of me floodong your comment section…

You have seen that the expo part of this actually is 20 euro (minus the discount codes) and the conference is the one with content but costing more money?

As we agreed before: One has to look carefully what is offered and then decide if it is worth it. :)

Anyway, the cost of travel (from Munich to Berlin) doesn’t bother me at all and it’s also not about how much worth the experience would be worth for me — it’s just that right now I simply cannot afford to spend up to 1300 Euro for a three day event…!

Besides, I’ve been in IT (as a general umbrella term for all surrounding areas) for almost 20 years now and have attended quite a few expos, trade shows and other events and honestly — I don’t think any of them should be priced as ridiculously high as they usually are…

But that’s just my very personal and thus subjective opinion…

Also I don’t really see any appeal in the ‘blogging program’ where I’d have to apply with one of my blogs, then wait for someone to judge it (and by that means judge me as well) to decide if I am worthy of participating — but again, I guess that’s just me…

In regards to the Expo itself – the Expo Hall Pass allows you to participate in the Keynotes as well as meeting people on site. For many that is more than enough. They also take advantage of the additional events around the Expo and the cost of travel can be set off by seeing how much you can do in that short amount of time.

Of course as usual, if you are just a passiv bystander, you will net get out anything of it and can rather look up the content from the presentations and such from your home.
