The guys from 37signals are putting on another workshop this November 8th.

I was at their last one (that's my big head in the green shirt in the bottom pic), and when I left felt vindicated for all the times I had (admittedly) preached standards to deaf ears.

If these guys can make a name for themselves (and $295 × 25 attendees – you do the math), then so can I.

If you're into standards, usability, and “contingency design” (which is really a highly developed extension of user-centered design) it's a great opportunity to meet some nice people who share your feelings.
