Today we are accepting about 12 more Standby applicants. We really wish we could accept more: there are people with really interesting ideas about new applications for Twitter on the list that we simply cannot fit. If you’re not being accepted, we really hope that you will join our community, participate in the conference online, and keep following TWTRCON so that we can see you at the next event. A big thank you to all of our Go Standby applicants: you will be adding a lot of energy and excitement to the event, and we really look forward to meeting you!
TWTRCON SF 09 will sell out this week. Once our Standby applicants are registered, there are only 20 seats still available. We kept these open because we had heard from certain people that they plan to come, and we are sending them a note today to let them know that they need to register or risk losing their seat. If you want one of those seats, go ahead and register now!
Most TWTRCON attendees have given us permission to share their name, title and company on our web site, and we are posting that partial TWTRCON SF 09 attendee list today. As you’ll see, it’s an incredible mix of marketing and business executives, VC’s, developers and social media strategists. We had hoped to include everyone’s Twitter user name, but are having trouble getting that database out of the reg system in a usable format. If you’d like to get in touch with each other before the event, join the TWTRCON community. And bring lots of business cards!
Don’t forget to RSVP for the Saturday evening pre-party with Operation Smile. Set your alarm early on Sunday to come to our 8 am pre-conference with Laura Fitton. You’ll learn a lot. And, whether you’re participating in person or via #TWTRCON, make sure you have lots of questions ready for our speakers. We’ll be taking questions from both live attendees and online attendees.
See you at TWTRCON!
