Going To CodeMash

Posted Date: 10/29/2011 5:10:49 PM by Dan Martin

Finally! I’ve been wanting to go to the CodeMash conference for a couple of years and always manage to find an excuse not to. This year I finally made it a point to ensure that I’d go. I booked my hotel reservation a month in advance and I was ready to order my ticket as soon as they went on sale. Turns out that was a very wise decision, because all 1200 tickets were sold within the first 20 minutes. I ordered as soon as they went on sale and this is what I saw on twitter immediately following the completion of my order:

Well that was close. I know a lot of people who were stuck in meetings and had to get on the waitlist because they were a few minutes late. Crazy stuff, but it only makes me look forward to the conference in January that much more. There are a lot of good sessions and I can already tell that I’m going to have a hard time choosing which ones to attend and which ones to miss. I’m also pretty excited about some of the After Dark sessions that are being planned. There is a good thread on the CodeMash Google groups board with ideas for talks, many of which I’d be interested in learning about.

Anyway I can’t wait. Hopefully I won’t be lazy and manage to do a few posts covering the conference. It is blog posts about the conference that got me interested in it initially, so I’d be more than happy to get others interested in attending in the future.
