MongoDB knows better than anyone how to set up a technical conference in an attractive and spectacular way. For that reason it is already recommended. Moreover, it is a very educational experience for NoSQL users with strong workshops, keynotes and sessions. Outside of the sessions there will undoubtedly be a ping-pong tournament for the necessary exercise and there will of course be a lot of time for a relaxed connection with other MongoDB and NoSQL techies.
