The lineup for the show from March 12 to 16 really is truly outstanding. Did you say [fanboy](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanboy)?:

- Werner Vogels, Amazon CTO ([winner of tecosystems technical innovation award](http://redmonk.com/sogrady/2007/01/11/the-2006-tecosystems-award-for-technical-innovation/))
- Rod Johnson (creator of the Spring framework).
- Gavin King (Hibernate).
- Martin Fowler (as if you didn’t know).
- Jeff Sutherland (scrum co-founder).

[QCon](http://qcon.infoq.com/qcon/conference/) doesn’t promise to be cheap but it does promise to be good. Solid enterprise focus too-QCon has a track on banking infrastructures, for example, so if you’re a salaryman your boss may be willing to pay…

disclaimer: I have a media pass and may well do some work with Floyd and InfoQ this year.
