Bill & Ted's Excellent Conference
Anyone going to TedMed or Bil:Pil?

TedMed looks cool but too expensive (and my company's not likely to pay for it). Bil:Pil is much more affordable, but I'm not sure what to expect. I worry it's a little more fringe than I like my medicine, but it also has the possibility to be really cool. Hmmm, maybe my actual worry is less about fringe-ness and more about my impression that the conference will focus on health rather than medicine. I'm not even quite sure what I mean by that ... perhaps 'health' is what I'd call the focus on individual lifestyle habit sort of things, which are cool but not what I'm looking for. 'Medicine' is even harder to define ... I make gadgets for doctors, so that's where I'm focused ... either on gadgety stuff itself or on the kinds of health issues where gadgets could be applied.

ETA: looks like the TedMed site is down now ... in the meantime there's Google
