What makes for a great technical conference?

* Excellent Speakers
* Timely, relevant topics
* Lack of Marketecture - "Fluff"
* Small Size - insure high level of interaction between speakers/attendees

The 2006 New York Software Symposium has all of the above!

Dates: August 18-20th
Location: Newark, NJ
Venue: Four Points by Sheraton Newark Airport Hotel
