The aspiring NoSQL movement has a conference:

no:sql(east)

October 28-30, 2009. Atlanta, GA.

You got to love their motto:

select fun, profit from real_world where relational=false;

Reportedly there will be talks on:

• CouchDB
• Dynomite
• Cassandra
• Redis
• Pig
• Cascading
• HBase
• MongoDB

and perhaps others (e.g. Project Voldemort, Tokyo *, Neo4J, Riak, Kai, Hypertable, Dryad/Cosmos).

Should be interesting.
