Hi David-
I’d suggest that WebInno is a pretty good Web event happening regularly here in Boston…and (plug alert) in the late 1990s, when we started to have the feeling that *all* of the important Internet conferences were on the West Coast, a group of Boston entrepreneurs and investors started the annual Nantucket Conference, which has had execs speak over the years from East and West ….

Scott - how could I forget WebInno! - I have not been to the Nantucket Conference but would love to go…not just because it is on Nantucket. =)

There’s Mobile Monday Boston - http://www.momoboston.com/
We’re more mobile than web, but we have open and free monthly events in Boston. The next one is on 5/5 about Mobile Advertising at the Liberty Hotel.
