A funny thing happened along the way in planning this years BACON—next year should really rock. Three of the speakers we had hoped would be able to participate this year tried very hard to alter schedules and sneak away from other commitments but were unable to do so but were so jazzed about what we are doing that they have pre-committed to participating next year (I guess this means we will have another next year!). Those with regrets but totally into this conference and its bloggers are Rob Torres, Head of Travel for Google; Phil Hollows, Founder & CEO of FeedBlitz and George Stephanis, lead for JetPack for Automattic (owner of WordPress). Its nice to see the interest from others for our small conference and with speakers like these and certainly others to come it looks like next year may be pretty cool.
