This year Comet is more and more popular, and it is reflected at conferences in terms of the number of sessions talking about Comet. This is interesting, as it wasn’t the case last year. Just for fun, here is a unofficial list of conferences where Comet was discussed in 2007, and the number of Comet sessions for each:

AJAXWorld Conference & Expo 2008 East Is This Week! (NYC - March 18-20, 2008)
Jean-Francois Arcand, Technical Lead of the Java NIO-based http engine called Grizzly, will be speaking next week at AJAXWorld Conference & Expo 2008 East at The Roosevelt Hotel in New York City, the 5th International AJAXWorld.
In a joint session that he is giving with Ted Goddard, Senior Softare Architect of ICEsoft, Arcand will be providing a detailed introduction to the Asynchronous Web and its application to social computing, explaining the underlying protocols and APIs, the challenges for application servers, and the high-level techniques available to application developers.
"Attendees will take away the information they need to add multi-user collaboration and notification features to their application," he says, "whether they develop with Dojo, DWR, or ICEfaces, and whether they deploy on Jetty, Tomcat, or GlassFish."
Before joining Sun, Arcand worked as a software architect for compagnies such as France Telecom, Microcell Telecom and HMS Software in both Java and C++. He lives and works from home in Prevost, a small city in Quebec "where life is perfect," he says.
This joint technical session is just of the 90+ sessions, presentations, discussion panels, and keynotes that together make up the 3-day conference program of this month's 5th International AJAXWorld.
Next October's Conference is already receiving higher-caliber submissions from all over the Rich Internet Applications ecosphere.
The theme of this October's AJAXWorld Conference & Expo 2008 West is 'Beyond AJAX to the RIA Era' and the Call for Papers, which is now open, specifically encourages submissions from exceptional speakers with high-quality use cases of the fast-emerging RIA alternatives.
Submissions featuring such use cases as well as on dozens of other RIA topics have already begun streaming in to AJAXWorld Conference & Expo 2008 West, being held in San Jose, CA, on October 20-22, 2008.
