This weekend at the Copthorne Hotel in Waitangi is Kiwi PyCon 2010. We've got a great lineup of speakers including Jacob Kaplan-Moss - the creator of the Django web framework, speakers from Weta Digital, Amazon, Microsoft, Google and Catalyst IT, to name a few.
If that hasn't motivated you to come along, we've also arranged a charter bus leaving from Auckland airport, Auckland University, and Massey University campuses for a 'cheap as chips' return ticket price of $20! The bus leaves Auckland this Friday at midday and returns Sunday night. Seats are still available so get in before the last minute rush!
The bus will arrive just in time for our Friday night CodeWars event, pitting 8 teams of developers against eachother in a 3 round competition. The winners will get a grabbag of schwag. There's lots of schwag on offer the whole weekend, though, with giveaways ranging from software licenses, geek gadgets, MSDN subscriptions, t-shirts, laptop bags, books, etc.
Tickets are $60 for students/unwaged and $100 for everyone else. Morning/afternoon tea and lunch is included. Accommodation can be organised by dropping an email to kiwipycon@nzpug.org.
What are you waiting for, register today!
