DEADLINE ALERT: Time for Action on Drupalcon Boston 2008
Platinum and gold sponsors
All Star General Session Speakers
We’ve lined up the some incredible general session speakers. These guys rock, and hearing from them is reason enough by itself to come to Drupalcon.
Monday March 3: Dries Buytaert, Drupal Project Lead and Acquia CTO and his traditional "The State of Drupal" speech
Tuesday March 4: Chris DiBona, Google Open Source Program Manager
Wednesday March 5: Brian Aker, Director of Architecture at MySQL AB
Incredible Momentum
Drupalcon Boston 2008 is shaping up to be the biggest and best Drupalcon ever. We crunched some numbers this week to compare the pace of registrations between Boston and Barcelona and found that registrations for Boston are running 50% higher than Barcelona at the equivalent stage of the registration cycle (~225 vs. ~150).ﾠ That’s incredible momentum, and as long as we have the expected surge in registrations over the next two weeks we’ll be in great shape to hit our goal of 500+ attendees.
By Feb 11: Submit Your Session Proposal
Many great sessions have already been submitted. But not enough. So we’re setting the session submission deadline for February 11 at 11 p. m. Eastern time (04:00 GMT). If you’ve been thinking about submitting a session, it’s time to put fingers to keyboard and make it happen. And if you are expecting a specific session by a specific person but don’t see it on the listings on the site, then please pester the presenter to get the session on the agenda.
By Feb 18: Get Registered, Pay, and Book Hotel
If you haven’t registered AND paid your fee (need to be logged in), then the time is now. We’ve reserved a bunch of hotel rooms at discounted rates. But they go away on February 18 - we can’t expect the hotel to hold them forever. So if you want to get a great room at a great rate, you need to get moving.
