New Conference Updates
World Domination Summit: (11 - 15 August, Portland, USA) The very last tickets are on sale right now, and there's only 28 tickets left as I type this. WDS is focused on bloggers & solo small business folks, and has had speakers like Derek Sivers, Chris Brogan, Scott Belsky, Andrew Warner, Darren Rowse, Danielle LaPorte & Gretchen Rubin. (I went to WDS 2011 and met one of my most profitable clients there, and the skydiving was amazing).

Business Of Software Europe (16 - 17 May, Dublin, Ireland) ticket sales have just opened today, with early bird ticket pricing available to the first 50 attendees. BoS Europe is for anyone growing or scaling a software business.
DNX Global, the Digital Nomad conference, still has tickets available for their March conference (March 1 & 2, Bangkok, Thailand). They've got an all star speaker lineup including Jana Schuberth, Natalie Sisson, Dave Cornthwaite and Conni Biesalski.
DjangoCon Europeis coming up on 30 March thru 3 April and will be in Budapest, Hungary (which everyone tells me is amazing and I have to visit). Join them for 5 days of Django & Python presentations. Some of my Digital Nomad freelancer friends are already signed up for this one.
XDC: Xojo Development Conferences: the German edition in Koblenz on 19 - 20 May 2016, and the American conference on 5 - 7 October 2016 in Houston, Texas. Tickets for the German conference are on early bird sale until 19 February. Xojo is a RAD IDE for developing cross-platform desktop and mobile applications in a dialect of Basic, similar to Delphi and Visual Basic. I've used Xojo to make a lot of my own inhouse bespoke tools.
