Conference for independent workers

Someone in Lausanne, Switzerland has had a great idea: a professional conference for freelancers. It's a one-day event called "Going Solo." In addition to the requisite opportunities for networking and socializing, the agenda is chock full of professional development seminars. (We heard about this via Gavin Baker.) If you're planning to be in Switzerland on May 16, you might want to register--the conference sounds great! Then, of course, come back and tell us how it was. Do you think freelancers in the US would want to participate in--and would benefit from--and event like this one?
