Two great conferences coming up - ISPExchange and Bloggercon. Bloggercon runs October 4th and 5th in Boston at Harvard's Berkman Center. It runs $500 but the agenda and roster is shaping up nicely. This will definitely be one of those nice small conferences that earns every dollar they charge by making sure that the attendee's are able to network, do deals and learn from one another. Great deals are still available via Expedia, Orbitz etc. to get you there on the cheap.

ISPExchange, running October 28 and 29th in Vegas, is another conference in a similar vein - small, focused and definitely the place to go if you want to rub elbows with serious ISP/Webhosting owner operators. There are a number of ISP-centric shows going on this fall, but the money guys aren't going to all of them. But they are attending this one. If you want to do a deal, this is the show to go to. Special Bonus: Doc Searls and Elliot Noss are keynoting. I've also managed to weasel a speaking spot as well ;)
