Ha ha, don't even get me started. I'm in Vancouver, BC. We have three other cities within a 10 hour drive. You guys can throw stones and hit cities in the UK! Seriously though, I agree. Revolving dev around conferences does cut out a lot of people, especially the basement hackers and students and self employed coders who have no chance of anyone else paying for them to fly to a conference. $500-1000 weekend = a whole lot of employment time I could have spent coding and reading books!
