I wrote that blog post. Actually, one of my next posts will be about which meetings to attend in Silicon Valley.

My advice (been there, done that): you don't need to show up for more than a few weeks at a time. You can find cheap tickets currently from Europe for no more than $600.

Step 1: make a friend online who can host you for a week

Step 2: fly over

Step 3: network like crazy while in the Valley

Step 4: repeat a few times

Does that make sense?
