And maybe you do, but you should still take a look at their blog. Like so many organizations, 360Conferences offers specialized tech conferences to developers. But unlike so many organizations, they do it really, really well.

And to think--they just started out as attendees who wanted to build a conference they would like to attend.
You're totally right - John and Tom are well on their way to being the best in the industry.
