I've seen Kevin speak in person at BarCamp Tampa last year. I almost skipped it b/c I had read so many of his blog posts, but fortunately decided to come in just a bit late instead. It was well-prepared, entertaining, insightful, inspiring, (I'll stop now and not over-do it) and not just a rehash of his blog entries.

I actually decided the networking opportunities were overrated, and I would only go to another conference for good speakers.
