How so? I went to the one last year, and by the end of the day, my ears 
were bleeding from cramming too much good stuff into to short a time. I 
haven't been that intellectually challenged at a conference. The 
speakers are unbelievably good. Eric Hatcher, Bob Martin, the list goes 
on. The topics are useful and interesting -- bytecode manipulation, 
OO-DB mapping, persistence, Bitter EJB stories, Test-First coding 
techniques. The fact that I won a free pass was just some great luck, 
and worth paying to go back this year and see the presentations I 
couldn't see last year -- too many good ones overlapped, and for every 
single session during the three days.

And it's a Fri-Sun deal, so travelers get the Saturday stay airfares, 
and in-towners don't have to give up more than a half-day in billable 
hours. What's not to like?

Anyway, they really are "no fluff, just stuff". Recommended if you do 
Java for a living.
