We're sending the February issue of the
WHIR magazine off to press next week, and along with this issue we're including a supplemental booklet that will help you to make plans to get the most from the vast selection of conferences scheduled for 2007.
Our guide includes a calendar listing details for more than 70 Web hosting related events scheduled for 2007. Some of them you're probably familiar with. Some of them may surprise you.
For some of the conference schedule's most well-traveled spots, we provide tips on some of the best places to stay, ways to stay connected while traveling, and places to meet up while attending events.
Smaller Web hosts hoping to get more out of attending Web hosting events will make good use of features offering expert advice on how best to plan your trip to make sure you make contact with the other attendees that might best benefit your business - too many hosts leave the kinds of encounters that make or break these events up to chance.
There's always plenty to take in at a conference, but small hosts underestimate the opportunities for them to capture some of the spotlight, even if they don't have the budget to set up a booth. For these hosts, we've included a guide to getting noticed on a budget.
So when the February WHIR magazine arrives in your mailbox, pull out the guide and start planning out your conference attendance for the year.
I'll be at many of this year's big hosting events myself, And I'm looking forward to making connections with more of the many Web hosts out there.
