Early registration deadline fast approaching for JA-SIG 2008 conference

By Andrew Petro
March 20, 2008

A friendly reminder that early registration for JA-SIG 2008 ends Sunday March 23.

There are just a few days left to register at the ridiculously affordable early bird conference registration rates. Conference registration is a mere $375 for 2.5 days of conference goodness. Grab some tasty meals while talking about JavaScript in portlets. Enjoy a poster session. Meet interesting, engaged, accomplished higher education open source participants. Share solutions. For just a hundred dollars more, enjoy an in-depth pre- or post-conference seminar as well.

After Sunday, the rates become less ridiculously affordable, but still quite the deal: regular registration is only $525 for folks who don't have the good fortune of affiliation with a JA-SIG member institution ($450 for those affiliated). It's still the best deal in higher-ed aligned open source conferences going.

I hope to see you there.
