Registration Open for jQuery Conference in Boston!
Hey everyone!
We recently announced the dates for our next jQuery Conference—October 1st and 2nd in Boston, MA—and we’re finally ready to open registration! Here are some top level bullet points for you:
- 2 days of jam-packed content from the jQuery Core Team and top community members, covering everything from jQuery basics and advanced techniques, to jQuery UI, jQuery Mobile, and more
- A new limited-run jQuery tshirt and other jQuery swag
- A fabulous Boston after party, hosted by our friends over at MediaTemple with free booze, snacks, great company and more
- Other sweet after-hours events, announcements coming soon
Back by popular demand, we’ve also got a full day of Beginner jQuery Training for the new folks on your team, generously provided by our friends over at Bocoup. We’ll likely be adding additional topical and/or advanced training sessions, so keep an eye here and on Twitter for announcements and updates on that.
New for this year: For the first time ever, we’ve really got an official jQuery Conference Hotel. We’ve had suggested multiple hotels in the past, but this year we’ve secured a fantastic block at the conference venue, arranged for the Core Team and speakers to stay there, and have also thrown in some hotel-guest-only perks, like priority registration and swag distribution. We’ll also be organizing some on-site evening gatherings at the hotel, and hotel guests will receive priority registration for any of those as well.
The room block we secured last year—which didn’t have these extra perks—sold out well before the conference, so make sure you book your room ASAP, and make sure it’s part of our specific room block.
The Call for Papers is still open, so if you haven’t submitted your talk yet, definitely get on that. Speakers receive access to a fantastic speaker thank you dinner, free accommodations at the conference hotel, and if budget allows it, additional TBD renumeration.
That’s it for now; we’ll have more announcements soon as we roll out the speaking roster, announce more party details and finalize all the other conference-related goodness.
I can haz Student discounts!? :D
@jzachsh:
Alas, Boston is a super expensive city, and right now, we can’t afford to lower ticket prices at all. Should the financial picture change at all, student discounts are first on our list of things to make happen :)
We can appreciate the charm of jQuery. It seems that the official jQuery Conference Hotel is amazing!
Should the financial picture change at all, student discounts are first on our list…
