Drupal Camp Vancouver

Registration for Vancouver's Drupal Camp in open and the wisest ones are already signing up. The event is limited to about 80 attendees/participants and costs $20 to secure your slot.

For the twenty bucks, you'll get a lunch (or maybe two) and an eco-friendly t-shirt but the big payoff to this ultra-thrifty event is the knowledge sharing, camaraderie and networking with enthusiasts from many facets of the web dev world including coders, architects, designers and even some business and marketing types.

Everyone pays, even speakers and volunteers - it's only $20.

How come? Well the sponsor money will cover the venues and basic expenses (including at least one tasty, healthy lunch and a kick-off party) while the $20 registration fees pays for t-shirt and beverages basically. This isn't a for-profit event and the money is entirely spent on Drupal Camp.

However, each sponsoring company receives one pass so they can represent. The reason is if each sponsor brought their whole crew along gratis, we'd be hard-pressed to come up with the funds to pay for a great event. Note to attendees, the sponsors represent the some of the hippest companies in town and many of them are hiring too at the job fair - see the list of sponsors in the left sidebar (updating of logos underway ...).

Thanks for your understanding. Your humble volunteer organizers respect the sponsors' donations and want to ensure a event worthy of their contribution. If someone really can't pay the $20, please contact the DCV volunteers organizers with a request for sponsorship or scholarship and we'll figure something out.
