Hopefully by now you've started to hear the buzz about #140conf Detroit. The recent fall weather in D-town has been a reminder that Oct. 20 is just around the corner, and things are definitely gearing up for what's sure to be a great event.
The conference schedule was released earlier this week, and as you can tell we've got an amazing lineup of speakers. We were really impressed by the number and quality of speaker proposals received, and ideally we'd include them all!
But the big news I've got is for all the students out there. The man behind #140conf, Jeff Pulver, has a tradition of providing students access to many of the events he's associated with. As such, he's offering FREE general admission tickets to the first 250 students who register.
As a recent graduate, I can definitely relate to being cash-strapped in college--but that's why this is such an amazing opportunity. Many conferences offer student discounts or rates, but oftentimes it still involves an out-of-pocket investment on the student's part. At #140conf, student tickets are 100 percent FREE.
Students will have a great opportunity to hear from both emerging and established professionals from a variety of industries. It's also a chance to meet some of the movers and shakers in Detroit and beyond--a big bonus for those of you looking for jobs or internships.
The tickets are first come, first served--so what are you waiting for? Visit http://detroit2010.140conf.com/students for all the details. And everyone else shouldn't delay either; the early bird discount ticket rate expires this Friday!
P.S. If you're sure you won't be able to join us for whatever reason, the event will be live streamed (details coming soon).
