Just came across a cool list on Computerworld.com revealing all of the upcoming tech related conferences of interest over the next year. Some of them, such as CES (ironically not on the list), are staples in the tech conference world but that does not mean that the smaller ones (in terms of attenance) are not as relevant or as important. As I like to say, it just means its more focused.
Check out the link here for further details and drop a line on your thoughts on the list and also if you have another conference in mind.
