Whoa. Less than a month ago, we announced first Stack Overflow DevDays<\/a> and opened registration to 300 people in each of five cities.<\/p>\n

Well, that sold out pretty quickly. Ryan Carson<\/a>, who is taking care of all the conference logistics, was pretty sure we\u2019d be able to book larger event spaces, so we allowed even more people to register… we\u2019ve got 2388 people booked worldwide so far, including over 800 in London, but it\u2019s clear that with just five events we weren\u2019t going to be able to accomodate all the people who want to spend a day meeting online Stack Overflow friends in real life and learning a little something about some hot new programming topics.<\/p>\n

So, we decided to take the show to five more cities. Here\u2019s the new schedule\u2014click on a city to register:<\/p>\n

Oct 07 Boston<\/a> NEW!<\/span>
\nOct 14 Austin<\/a> NEW!<\/span>
\nOct 16 Los Angeles<\/a> NEW!<\/span>
\nOct 19 San Francisco<\/a>
\nOct 21 Seattle<\/a>
\nOct 23 Toronto<\/a>
\nOct 26 Washington DC<\/a>
\nOct 28 London<\/a>
\nOct 30 Cambridge, UK<\/a> NEW!<\/span>
\nNov 02 Amsterdam<\/a> NEW!<\/span><\/p>\n

Tickets are $99 in the US, \u20ac84.75 in Amsterdam and \u00a385.00 in the UK. A limited number of very cheap student tickets are available. If you already booked but want to change cities, email devdays@stackoverflow.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, I\u2019ve been working hard lining up speakers. I\u2019ll be speaking myself in all ten cities, as this will be the launch event for FogBugz 7 and a new product now under development by the Fog Creek summer interns, who just arrived and are already coding away earnestly. Jeff Atwood will be speaking in San Francisco. Scott Hanselman will be speaking in San Francisco and Seattle. Jon Skeet will be speaking in London. The basic agenda should, more or less, include: Android, Python, Google App Engine, iPhone development, ASP.NET MVC, jQuery, FogBugz, Mercurial and DVCS, and a different speaker from academia in each city. There will be lunch, two breaks, and we\u2019ll organize some kind of birds-of-a-feather post-conference meetups.<\/p>\n

Anyway, at the current rate, it\u2019s pretty clear these conferences will sell out long before the events themselves, so don\u2019t wait until the last minute to decide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
