If I had $10,000 & 3 weeks of leave…

I’d go to a hell of a lot of geography related conferences this year. The first one I’d go to is of course AAG Annual Meeting in Boston this year. Boston is one of my favorite cities and a great city to host a geography conference. I also heard Noam Chomsky is speaking, that in itself is a reason to attend. O’Reilly’s Where 2.0 Conference is great conference and I think this year is going to be their best. This conference focuses on the geospatial web and emerging and innovative techno-related trends in the geospatial realm. If you’re into neogeography, the Where 2.0 conference is for you. And with sponsers like Google, Autodesk, MS Virtual Earth, MapQuest, and DigitalGlobe you could probaly score some really nifty swag, not to mention check out all the new stuff these companies have planned for geospatial realm. The last conference is not really a geo-related conference per se, but c’mon you know how multi-disciplinary geography is and I’m sure you’d be able to find a link to geography in a presentation at TED. It’d actually probably be easier than finding a ticket to attend this outrageously expensive and selective conference. TED was actually invitation only up until 2007 (ticket prices went from $4800 to $6000) Nonetheless, the conference is AWESOME, you can watch a lot of the presentations on the site! They have truly amazing speakers. Check out wiki on TED. Go now, check it out!
