Summary: In this, our pilot episode, Charles and Joe discuss the importance of conferences to your business and to the Apple developer community in general. We answer the question of whether you should attend a conference (spoiler: Yes, you should!), the role of conferences in building community, and how to justify the expense in time and money that conferences represent. We discuss some tips for making the most of your time while attending a conference, suggest a few conferences for first-time attendees, and talk about ways to get involved in a conference beyond merely attending.
