I was at the R/Finance 2011 in Chicago at the end of April. It was a great conference and very reasonable at only $200. I would strongly encourage anyone in the field of finance or analytics in general to attend. I know I will be back next year!
The PDFs of the 2011 presentations are here.

doRedis: A parallel back end for R/foreach using Redis.
Bryan Lewis recently did a Vignette using RStudio to run some financial data using R/foreach and doRedis. Parallelizing R continues to become more important as users want to run computations on larger and larger quantities of data in reasonable amounts of time particularly on clusters or the cloud. doRedis includes the following features:
Redis
- Support for dynamic pools of parallel workers during running computations.
- Simple cross-platform parallel computing, including at least Windows, GNU/Linux and OS X.
- Fault-tolerant
Redis
