It turns out that next week (the week of June 21st) is a big week for tech conferences. A bunch of the Cloudant people will be hitting up various conferences and giving a couple talks. If anyone is interested in meeting up over beers to talk Cloudant, CouchDB, NoSQL, Startups, etc. get in touch (info at cloudant dot com is a good place to start.) Here are the tour dates:

• Structure Conference. June 23–24. San Francisco, CA: Both Adam Kocoloski (CTO) and David Hardtke (Search) will be milling about this conference, whose tagline is “Put Cloud Computing To Work.” On the 23rd in the afternoon, Cloudant will be taking part in the Launchpad! event. Adam will be working the crowd, drumming up some love for Cloudant, giving a short pitch about our service. Check it out.

• Velocity Conference. June 22–24. Santa Clara, CA: No Cloudant talk at this conference but Joe Williams (Operations and Utility Infeilding) will be in attendence. No one I know gets more pumped up about server uptime, configuration management, and monitoring than Joe. If you’re the same way, say hi.

• Momentum Summit. June 23. Cambridge, MA: This one day conference focuses on how to turn a startup into big business. CEO Alan Hoffman (that’s me) will be in attendence. Looking forward to hearing from Boston startup gurus like Steve Kaufer and Scott Griffith. I’m always eager to talk with other local startup types so come find me.

• Windy City DB. June 26. Chicago, IL: I’m lucky enough to be heading back to my hometown to attend and speak at this one day event on the south side of Chicago. My talk is entitiled “Learning to Relax: CouchDB for Beginners” and it is about, uh, CouchDB for beginners. It’s my first long-format NoSQL talk so if you’re in attendance, please no heckling. I’m happy to meet up after the conference; if you’re looking for me on Friday afternoon, I’ll be at U.S. Cellular Field watching the White Sox.
