We held our first two-day Event Apart event in Manhattan last year. An Event Apart NYC 2006 featured Tantek Çelik, zefrank, Aaron Gustafson, Jason Santa Maria, Khoi Vinh, Eric Meyer, and me of course. The schedule provides details, and there's even a Flickr group dedicated to the event. We restricted the audience to 125 people. This year's events are for a bigger audience (which allows us to charge a lower per-day ticket price).

How about NYC – has an event like this ever been done in Manhattan? Javits Center!

You’d think a city like Boston would have for events like this.

You would indeed! Well, we love Boston, so we'll try to make a habit of coming back frequently.

a bit off topic (looking towards the future)… Any word on what month AEA Chicago will happen?

I have to believe that part of the reason AEA Boston is selling so well is because we Bostonians have a severe lack of web events, especially when it comes to design. This is probably our best event in a long while, so people are hopping to it knowing they may not see anything as good for a long while. You’d think a city like Boston would have for events like this.

At any rate, I’ll be in attendance. Looking forward to seeing everyone again, hearing some good talks, and meeting some new people too.
