We had a little meeting about Interesting2007 today (I'll explain about the 'we' in a subsequent post) and decided that we should limit attendance to 200. That means the room will feel full but not crowded and I'd rather do something good for 200 than average for 300.
And, as of 11pm on Thursday March 29th we've sold 182 tickets, so, if you want to come, you might need to get a move on.
UPDATE: Really sorry. We're sold out for now. We'll look at how we can add tickets. Email me or comment below and I'll let you know if/how/when we do that. (russell at russelldavies.com)
The thing we're worrying about now is finding some really good AV folk and someone who's a projector/laptop/DVD/mac/windows/where's-your-dongle magician. We're going to be juggling lots of presentation formats (including, I hope, nothing, and some people with actual likely-to-be-amusingly-upside-down slides) and we're going to be getting people on and off really quickly. So I need to find someone really good.
We're planning to avoid all that fakery you usually get with some big conference logo screen serenely masking the changing laptops behind the scenes. I figure we might as well throw it all up there, and make 'detect displays' part of the show. We'll be breaking the fourth conference wall. It'll be epic presenting.
Anyway. Anyone got any suggestions of great AV folk? And get your tickets now, while stocks last.
This is way too short notice.
You post the night before there's 18 tix left?
300 isn't a bad number either.

Sorry Alex, I wasn't really expecting this kind of demand. We might make more available (I'd certainly lose less money that way) but I want to make sure it's all going to work properly first. (There's still 6 left).

I find the vagueness very seductive, and would be really interested in coming along.sshh!

Just got back round to checking the blog, saw the posts about this, got really excited... and then saw that it was all sold out. Are you going to be running a reserve list? Please?
