I am leaving for my flight to Orlando tonight to attend the sold out regional Ruby and Rails conference, acts_as_conference. 
The conference is the first time it has been put on and hopefully it will carry on in future years. The lineup of speakers looks great and it should be a good time. I interviewed the creator of the event, Robert Dempsey, back in the beginning of January to give InfoQ readers a feel for what the conference was about. I was excited about the content so I figured I would sign up.
I am anxious for the Charity Session with Ezra Zygmuntowicz and Evan Phoenix from the Rubinius Project.
This will be the first conference of the year for me and I will blog a bit from the event. I am also planning on attending RailsConf 2008 in May.
