Most of the positive career changes I have made in the last ten years I can trace back to my participation at local events, be it Hidden Tech or podcamp or developer meetups. Of course sometimes this has meant going outside my comfort zone or even attending an event that didn't seem to yield an immediate result, but It's pretty amazing look back, whether it's web design or podcasting or (now) video production and streaming, how local events and contacts have been instrumental in moving from outlandish/untested ideas into sustainable business models.
