Yet another fantastic technology conference fills up in record or near record time. Today it was Build 2012, Microsoft's annual developer conference (it kind of took the place of PDC a couple years ago). I don't know how many tickets were made available but you can't get one if you don't already have one. They sold out in 80 minutes at $2095 USD each.
- Stir Trek
- 1000 tickets; 10 minutes
- Code Mash
- 1200 tickets; 20 minutes
- Apple WWDC
- roughly 5000 tickets; 12 hours
- Google I/O
- roughly 5000 tickets; 28 minutes
So what does all this mean?
Well, I'm not really sure. Either it's still really good to be in technology; it is really, really good to be in event planning; we are reaching critical mass on folks wanting to learn more about tech; or all the above. Whatever the case, if you want to get any of the latest info first-hand, you better hope they stream it or you're going to be left in the dust.
