Devcon Prague for me.
Same reasons as stated cost cost cost.. Two days 10 sessions in
english. Price is only 70 eruo.
So add it up. 120 eu / for a hotel per night, (with internet access
and breakfast,
590 for air from NYC,
I save my company quite a chunk of change.

Not to mention the nightlife of Prague, beats the hell out of Palm
Springs.
