I have to be in LA that weekend for Robert Avrech’s daughter’s wedding on the Sunday, so Hillary and I are going to drive or fly up to San Jose/Sunnyvale on the Saturday for Techdirt Greenhouse. Mike Techdirt writes:

A few people have asked “who will be presenting?” since we don’t list the presenters on the site. This was done on purpose. As many people have noted, the most value you get out of a conference isn’t from the canned presentations, but from the people you meet out in the hallways or at meals. So, while we will be revealing some info about the presenters as we lead up to the event — the point was that this event is not just about the presenters, but the attendees. Too often, you go to an event because there’s some big name presenter, and all you get is a sales pitch of stuff you already knew. That’s not valuable to anyone. At Techdirt Greenhouse the point is that, not only will you see some cool new ideas, but you’ll also get to interact with a bunch of other smart folks in the workshops.

Considering the superb individuals that Techdirt can count as fans and supporters, it’s pretty safe to say that the presentations are going to be well worth the (very modest - $95) cost of attendance.
