Play and Network

This conference is not just about work.

On the play side, we are putting together a social program that should be a lot of fun. We have hired an Event Planning consultant to make this 1st Annual Epik Developer Conference an event to remember.

Max Ciccotosto (CEO of Epik partner Wishpot.com) is influencing venue selection and the social program. Max was single for a lot longer than I was and was quick to volunteer for the Program Committee.

Weather-wise, mid-September is normally a great time of year to be visiting Seattle. Yes, it does rain here, butrarely in September. And if there is interest in a Spouse program, we’ll put one together.

Conference Cost
The objective is to make the conference as affordable as possible. Epik partners with 20+ Network sites receive one free registration for the conference event.
