Anyone going to The NextWeb conference in Amsterdam?

Apart from the fact that I’ve never been to Amsterdam, I’m really, really keen to go to The Next Web conference happening in July - I’ve been seriously thinking about it, but am not sure how good / how bad / how worthwhile it’s gonna be?

Weighing that up with @Media happening a few weeks before you’re looking at £800 just to get to the two events, with at least another £200 for the trip to Amserdam.

Amsterdam looks cool ‘cos it seems to have more of a venture / business focus, whereas @Media is more about the tech (at least, seems that way to me…) - but I read all the speakers blogs anyways, so am not totally convinced of the value over and above simply being there for the people and the vibe…

Who’s going? Who’s got any comments? Who thinks they’re both worth going to?

    Hi, I’m organising the conference and am sure it will be worth your time. The closing party alone is worth it! But we also have great speakers and the first real Elevator Pitch with real VCs (Atlas Ventures) in a real elevator.

    This offer is for Gareth only: if you decide to come and after the conference believe it wasn’t worth it after all I’ll give you your money back.

    Register fast because the early bird special is only valid for another 3 days or so…
