We were talking earlier this week about some of the new Umbraco v4 features and the progress the Core Team is making implementing very cool stuff like live editing!  Got me thinking about how excited I am about Codegarden US in Chicago - coming right up on October 6-7.  Here's a 90-second snippet that explains.

We have a good number of attendees already confirmed but there's definitely room for more.  Head over to the Umbraco Codegarden US mini-site and get signed up.  The "early-bird" discount ends on Monday September 1.

Time to get excited!  If you thought Codegarden08 in Copenhagen was good, wait until you experience Codegarden08 US.  The US version of Codegarden is scheduled to include the same astounding presenters - Niels Hartvig, Per Ploug Hansen, and others.  We have secured a terrific venue at The Illinois Institute of Technology in central Chicago, IL.  The venue is literally just minutes from Midway airport and has it's own train stop for both the Red and Green lines. 

 

We are working on the Codegarden08 US mini-site and registration forms as I write this and will update this post as soon as they are available.  In the meantime, following are some specifics.

Event Pricing:
Early Bird (By September 1): $475.00
Standard (By September 20): $625.00
Late (By availability only): $775.00

 

Discount hotels are available here (mention you're requesting the IIT rate).

 

By the way, Codegarden08 US is not limited only to US attendees.  We welcome attendees from around the world.  As a bonus for non-US attendees, the US dollar has rarely been weaker and you may find that traveling to Chicago, IL is a terrific bargain.  It's like getting a Codegarden08 US discount!

 

If you're interested in presenting at Codegarden08 US, please let Douglas Robar know via the contact form on his website.  We're open to all suggestions and presenters get free admission.

 

Looking forward to seeing you all in Chicago.
