This is one of my favorite talks but...
It was at Business of Software 2010, not 2011.
You can get a transcript of the talk if you don't have time to watch the full hour here: http://thebln.com/2011/09/eric-ries-the-lean-startup-the-most-innovati…
This year's event takes place in Boston 24-26th October. (I run it) http://businessofsoftware.org/

It seems disingenuous, even sleazy, to submit this question and then answer it by plugging your own conferences (http://thebln.com/team/).
(Also, at least as of this writing, you didn’t even disclose the affiliation, though I don’t think disclosure would resolve the conflict of interest.)

Hey Klunger,
Dharmesh Shah (Founder of Hubspot) actually gave a decent talk at Business of Software on this: http://thebln.com/talk/lessons-from-the-trenches-in-scaling-culture/
I think he can say it far better than I could.
That being said, I think it's something alot of companies go through when growing. It's important though!

It looks like it was written in near real-time. Going through the main site (http://thebln.com/blog/) there are notes for what looks like every talk.
If you read it in that context it doesn't seem so bad...

I've started tracking a list of indie developer & freelancer friendly conferences over at my Indie Conference site [1]. On the associated mailing list I'm hoping to notify people of upcoming Call For Presentations deadlines. A few I've found coming up soon:
UIKonf presentations are due February 15: http://www.uikonf.com/#cfp
Xojo XDC USA has a call for presentations due on Feb 26, though your talk would need to be related to Xojo / REALbasic: http://www.xojo.com/xdc/HTML/index.html
YOW! Perth presentations close on 13 March: http://west.yowconference.com.au/call-for-presentations/
Business Of Software runs a call for speakers all year round:
