O’Reilly Velocity Conference – Santa Clara

My favorite front-end conference has always been O'Reilly's Velocity Conference because the conference series has focused on one of the most undervalued parts of client side coding: speed. So often we're so excited that our JavaScript works that we forget that speed, efficiency, and performance are just as important.
This year Velocity is broadening its scope to business:
You'll still find plenty of hard-core web operations and performance sessions at the conference. But the web-centric innovation sparked by the Velocity community has forever changed business-as-usual. So we're broadening the scope of Velocity in Santa Clara to include the essentials of "Building a faster, stronger business."
So now O'Reilly is adding another oft-ignored facet of development to Velocity: business. There's no other conference like it.
