I think that Habrahabr readers will be interested to know what Western conferences will be held before we all raise glasses of champagne (or whatever you have) at midnight at 1.01.
November 2008
Future of Mobile , London, UK.
Mobile devices and the mobile web in particular still have room to grow; The conference will present innovative developments in this area, new technologies and interesting solutions in the field of mobile hardware, as well as portals focused on using the phone.
Defrag Conference , Denver, USA.
The conference on November 3-4 is entirely devoted exclusively to tools and technologies that “mobilize” the social aspect of software (as noted by
Crenk : this is done to enhance the oral wow factor). The Defrag conference is not dedicated to "some company that released the next 9.6.5.5 beta of its product", but rather it is a gathering place for a growing community of developers, users, "builders and thinkers" working on the next wave of new software.

The New New Internet Conference , supposedly Reston, USA.
More than 60 speakers from all over the North American continent will talk about the development of their companies, prospects for the future and much more. A distinctive feature of the conference is that it is exclusively corporate entities of large companies (look at
last year's speakers ), which gives this movement a tinge of officialdom.
December 2008
Search Engine Strategies , Chicago, USA.
Perhaps one of the most interesting conferences at which the entire developed search industry of the world will converge for a whole week of lively discussions and high-level training.
Le Web 3 , Paris, France.
December 11-12 promise to become the red days of the European calendar, because the Le Web will bring together the most interesting developers of the Old World. The most interesting and promising startups, reasonable investors and a sea of ​​visitors are what awaits everyone at this conference. A must to visit for all enthusiasts who are developing products for Europe and who want to get acquainted with the elite of the industry.
