Midnight Engineer's Forum

Each year I attend a conference in Denver that grew out of a magazine called 'Midnight Engineering'. The magazine was dedicated to engineers that loved the work so much they could be found doing it at all hours, even in their spare time, hence the magazine's name. Many of the readers were entrepreneurial types engaged in moonlighting activities. A yearly conference called Entcon was started that became like a 'real-time version of the magazine'. It was a great networking event with lots of interesting people that kicked off with skiing in the Rocky Mountains followed by a weekend of presentations and informal networking sessions.

The magazine is out of print, but a conference which is now called Entconnect is still going on each year in Denver around the last week of March. Next year's conference is scheduled for March 26-29, 2009 in Lakewood, CO.

We don't get a chance to talk much with the other conference participants throughout the year, so I've put together a forum on Yahoo Groups to see if it will help. If discussions about entrepreneurship, tech startups, and free agent engineering appeal to you, perhaps you'd like to join the group.
