But I&#8217;ll also be punctuating the season with a few speaking opportunities at three great conferences.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/\u00e7ingleton.com\/\">\u00c7ingleton<\/a>. October 14-15. Montreal, Qu\u00e9bec. My friends <a href=\"http:\/\/kickingbear.com\/\">Guy English<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/indev.ca\/\">Scott Morrison<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/edovia.com\/\">Luc Vandal<\/a> teamed up to put on a very small, very focused &#8220;symposium.&#8221; I love the small scale and single-tracked nature, but it comes with one huge drawback: low capacity. Just as the similarly formatted C4 conferences sold out quickly every year, I expect \u00c7ingleton will do the same.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mactech.com\/conference\/about\">MacTech<\/a>. November 2-4, Los Angeles, California. This year&#8217;s show features a keynote from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.guykawasaki.com\/\">Guy Kawasaki<\/a>, which will be exciting for me, since I&#8217;ve corresponded with Guy over the years: he&#8217;s provided a ton of valuable feedback about MarsEdit. Also exciting is the addition to the organization team of Scotty from <a href=\"http:\/\/ideveloper.tv\/blog\/\">iDeveloperTV<\/a>, who will be running the developer side of the conference.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/ios2011.voicesthatmatter.com\/\">Voices That Matter<\/a>. November 12-13. Boston, Massachusetts. The floating conference moves back to Boston, the site of its first show, at which I also had the pleasure of speaking. They have just\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/ios2011.voicesthatmatter.com\/calendar\">posted the schedule<\/a>, revealing that <a href=\"http:\/\/bignerdranch.com\/instructors\/hillegass.shtml\">Aaron Hillegass<\/a> will be delivering the opening keynote. Definitely wake up for this!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Voices That Matter folks are offering a coupon code with a twist: $150 off for the purchaser, with a $50 bonus for me as the speaker. I am not paid for the speaking itself, so if you are looking for a discount, consider using &#8220;<strong>BSTSPK5<\/strong>&#8220;. When combined with the early-bird pricing, it brings the cost of the conference down to $395.<\/p>\n<p>With such a busy speaking lineup, I have once again had to pass on some other conferences where I would have enjoyed the less demanding experience of<em> <\/em>simply attending. In particular, I am bummed to be missing:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/360idev.com\/\">360iDev<\/a>. September 11-14. Denver, Colorado. Another show I haven&#8217;t had the pleasure of attending yet, but that is celebrated by many of my peers. The\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/360idev.com\/schedule\">schedule<\/a> a more conventional, multi-track affair, which is great for those who prefer to pick a favorite topic from a variety of choices. The keynote address will be delivered by my friend\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/360idev.com\/schedule\">Matt Drance<\/a>, whose work you may also know from his past life as an Apple evangelist.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.secondconf.com\/\">SecondConf<\/a>. September 23-25. Chicago, Illinois. Seen by many as the organic successor to C4, I have been hoping to attend for the past two years. This year&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.secondconf.com\/speakers\/\">roster of speakers<\/a> is outstanding, featuring some well-known developers and \u2026 <a href=\"http:\/\/ihnatko.com\/\">Andy Ihnatko<\/a>! But it&#8217;s also notable for featuring some folks who don&#8217;t do as much public speaking, including\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/rohdesign.com\/\">Mike Rohde<\/a>, the designer of Red Sweater&#8217;s logo!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Suffice to say, there is a lot going on this fall. If you are looking \u00a0for something to do, take a click-through to some of these great shows and see if any of them sounds like the right place for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After the stress of moving (tomorrow!) is passed, I&#8217;ll be tackling a slate of new challenges this fall, including the usual work at Red Sweater, developing future versions of MarsEdit and my other apps.
