MongoUK conference
10gen (the company behind MongoDB) visited London in June 2010 to put on the 1 day MongoUK conference.
It was a great conference. Cheap ($50 for an early bird ticket), informative (most of the speakers work for 10gen and really new their stuff) and friendly.
I took notes in some of the talks I attended, some of which I have written up into blog posts (see below).
