Here's a one day conference for a reasonable price coming up in San Francisco - the Business of APIs:
As its name suggests, "The Business of APIs" is not a technical conference. It is a place where the people responsible for bringing in revenue, building traffic or building content syndication channels will learn how some of the most prominent and successful media and internet companies are enjoying significant growth through building a web services distribution channel.
In this one-day conference you will learn from companies that have executed API strategies to reinvent their businesses. They will share why and how they did it, what they expected to achieve, and how they are measuring success. It will be a day of real-world advice and lessons learned from many of your peers who are already part of the Web's Industrial Revolution.
Confirmed speakers include:
- Heidi Tucker,
VP of Business Development, Hoover's
- Marc Frons,
CTO, New York Times
- Mike Hart,
Director of Engineering, Web API, Netflix
- Daniel
Jacboson, Manager of Application Development, NPR Digital
Media

- Allen Hurff,

Looks like a fantastic lineup - I can't wait to hear more about the New York Times' plans for additional APIs.
