For the conference location, how about one of the ‘best places for boostrappers to live’ such as Austin, Raleigh, etc? Let people get a feel for the location.

Here’s the conference plan:
Name: BootUp
AKA: The UP Conference
5 Downer Presentations to kick things off:
- Charlatans Work Less (The 4 hour work week explained)
- 10,000 True Fans (since 1000 didn’t work, this has got to work)
- LTV Has No Value (why you can’t spend the lifetime value of a customer on acquiring a customer)
- How to Talk About Shady Marketing Technics By Just Making Up New Words
- Exploiting Desires is Way Easier than Solving Problems.
Followed by hours of talking.

Andrey,
I empathise your pain of having to use Xcode and other not-so-nice IDE’s. The main reason I don’t make iOS stuff is the pain of Xcode.
You should take a look at AppCode. For the times when I just have to do some Objective-C work, I use this because it is actually a joy to use. They charge money, albeit not too much, for an alternative to Xcode, which I think is a gutsy move.
