April 12, 2010

MinneWebCon 2010 is less then six weeks away! Here's the latest about  
the region's third annual web design and social media conference:

1. Sessions and speakers:  Our 12 regular breakout sessions have been  
finalized — details about them are now on the web site.
      ("unconference" discussion sessions are still being finalized,  
and information about them will be added very soon)

2. Registration: Online registration opened last month, and the  
conference is almost half full.  Our rates remain the same as in 2008  
and 2009:

* Standard registration: $200

* With University of MN staff discount: $150*

* With student discount (any school): $100


3. Free stuff — tech books: We're once again giving away a limited  
number of tech books to the first people who check in on the morning  
of Monday April 12 (check-in will begin at 7:45 a.m., one hour before  
the morning keynote). The first shipment of books arrived last month  
from New Riders.

4. More free stuff — commemorative poster: This year there's something  
completely new and very exciting — we've commissioned art!  Every  
conference attendee will receive a limited edition Adam Turman  
silkscreened poster. Adam is a 1999 graphic design graduate of the U  
of M, so we couldn't be happier to partner with him on this event  
poster.

5. Tech MN podcast: Jeff Pesek of Tech.MN interviewed me about  
MinneWebCon in late February. If you're interested in hearing how the  
conference came to be and what it's about, take a listen!
