Already have a free pass so accommodation is next on the list followed by flights. have a lead on some free accommodation so might almost have this wrapped up.
Flights aren't a problem if I leave before the last day. Not an issue for me as 2/3 days should be more than enough given that I only had 24 hours last year...
Quite frankly I'd skip 3GSm (it's a brawl of people) and aim for something like SXSW Interactive inAustin in March (http://www.sxsw.com/). More than just mobile, more technology,more paries, better people, and for you slightly cheaper!
@ewan SXSW definitely looks interesting but the thing is I couldn't get work to pay for that ;)
3GSM is directly related to my job so, as long as it's within the limits of my teams budget, it's a free ride. Plus last year was interesting and it's always good to catch up with the usual people at the Mobile Events :)
Back to SXSW though, I'm thinking about paying my own way and having a couple of days there. I should hopefully have relocated to Seattle by then so will be cheaper flights etc. Hope to see you there!
Arguably though tehre's mobile stuff at SXSW, and surely you need to be ahead of the curve and find new stuff (/me whistles). Grab me on skype (ewanspence) if you need SXSW advice. Gonna be third or forth year for me.
