Connection07 was held at Stadsmuseet, one of the very few web conferences held in Gothenburg. Compared to the large global conferences such as MIX and @media, this is of course a lot smaller.
On the other hand, I’ve often felt that the large conferences tend to turn a bit towards monologue due to their size. In the wake of SXSW 2007, there has been a bit of arguing in the blogosphere, raising the question whether large computer conferences have played out their role.
For me, one of the biggest reasons to attend these conferences is to get inspiration and motivation. David Seah nailed it with the word rededication.
Connection07 had a smaller crowd who dared to ask relevant questions, thus turning it into a kind of two-way conversation. Dialogue is always more rewarding than monologue.

The speakers were my colleague Roger Johansson (who talked about accessibility and web standards), Rasmus Sellberg, Henrik Torstensson, Fredrik Wackå and Anna Grandt.
The whole thing was arranged by Jonathan and Jonas from lab:kloud9.
