2007 Webmaster Jam Session

The 2007 Webmaster Jam Session hosted by Coffee Cup is coming to Dallas in September. I will be there (unless something urgent comes up).

The speakers’ line-up looks very impressive. Derek Featherstone, Keith Robinson, Greg Rewis, Jeff Croft, Molly Holzschlag, Rob Weychert, Jonathan Snook, among others will be speaking about content strategy, typography, search optimization, etc. These are excellent topics for every website designer / developer who is interested in keeping up with the “web crew”.

The price seems to be very affordable. Especially, since there is a discount code - “CLICKHAPPY” - published by Blue Flavor. Normally, the regular attendee badge will cost you about $199, and Platinum Pass - $399. If you will use the discount code mentioned above you will be able to save $50. Hurry up, register before July 15th.
