It'd be great if you offered some kind of student discount. I think Web Directions offered something like that. I would love to go, but I couldn’t possibly afford to spend $800.

We can't say (because we don't yet know) where we will go next year, or when. And we never announce a city until we've at the very least booked a venue. BUT we do love Chicago.

Since it looks like I can’t make it this year (since tickets will likely be sold out before I can save up enough money for the fee), will AEA be coming back to Chi-town next year, and if so, do you have an idea as to when?

I lost a $3,000 job not too long ago (would have resulted in a $900 profit) and I'd have sunk $800 of that into the event registration. I'm in Aurora, so lodging isn't an issue (take the BNSF to Chicago, attend the event, hop on the train back home, et cetera...).

I will hate to miss it, that's for sure. Since Dallas was just awarded SuperBowl XLV (2011), doesn't it make sense that AEA come to Dallas also? It would be a good time for all. Please come to Dallas! :) Looks like a fantastic line-up of speakers and interesting talks. I will hate to miss it, that’s for sure.
