Sold out! Philadelphia Code Camp at 500 registered attendees
Okay, had you asked me a few weeks ago, I was a little nervous. I mean, here we were, several user group leaders, RD's, MVP's, and I, along with (necessary) help from my regional marketing rep, putting together an event that was targeted to bring in 500 developers to speak and to attend, over two days on a weekend.
Well, just this afternoon we not only maxed out on registrations, but filled the wait list as well! This is going to be a great Code Camp, and it showed what a few people in the developer community could do once they put their minds to it. It also shows how important it is to have enough such people around.
Given that, if anyone in the Pennsylvania, Delaware, or southern NJ (below Philadelphia) wants to start a new user group or put together a Code Camp in their local area, please contact me. We're already in planning stages for Pittsburgh, so if you're near there it's the perfect time to come to the table.
