360Flex – Speaker Chat Kevin Schmidt

Kevin has been a speaker at several 360|Flex events, he’s a great guy! Scary tall, and sometimes packing heat ;) but an awesome guy :)

Join us this wednesday for the next in our speaker chat series. Kevin will be talking about his session at 360|Flex San Jose, as well as anything else you’d like to hear about. He’s been doing Flex and CF before that for a long time now, and has struck out on his own as an Indie developer/consultant.

The chat starts at 12:00 MST on Feb 3rd. Don’t miss it. Bookmark this link.

If you haven’t gotten your room at the Marriott yet, you should get on that. Space is filling up, and the price for downtown San Jose is tough to beat.

And if for some reason you haven’t registered for 360|Flex yet, you should also get on that. Use this link to register. It’ll help Kevin in our contest for speakers to get an upgraded suite at the hotel!

Don’t miss 360|Flex, it’s everything you’ve heard, and more :)

360flex – Why you should be staying at the Marriott

If you haven’t heard, we have an official hotel. That’s right, boys and girls. There’s a spot where all the party people are going to staying under one roof. It’s the spot where you can stumble or crawl to your bed after an all-night rager of drinking, coding or perhaps a bit of both.

Why an official hotel that’s not connected to the conference center? For one, the conference center is on eBay’s HQ. They are trying to run a business, not make your beds or pick up your mess. Aside from that obvious reason, we want to keep having fun after we leave eBay. We’re still gonna party at Ebay after the last sessions; However, instead of taking the post functs to someone’s room, we want to take the party to downtown San Jose!

One thing that’s always nice at a conference is bumping into the “superstars”. While it happens a lot at the conference, it’s tough to pull someone aside to buy ‘em a drink to say thanks for contributing to the community. While we (the organizers) may not be the superstars you’re looking for, we will be at the hotel with all the speakers (who are the superstars). If you’re flying all the way to the show to meet and learn from these people, why would you bother staying anywhere else? Yes, it would be silly, especially after you read up on the deal we have for you!

360Flex – The Hotel and group rate!

Normally everyone has to stay at one of the two hotels nearby, and walk or light rail, or drive over.

This time we’re trying something different. We’re going to be staying downtown (near bars that stay open past 8!), at the Downtown San Jose Marriott

There’s an awesome bar on site, and a great restaurant, and it’s right on the VTA line so you can come and go to the conference.

But wait I’m not done :)

The Marriott has agreed to provide a shuttle loop in the morning and evening for an hour each time to shuttle everyone back and forth Monday – Wednesday. Just be outside ready to go, and you’ll be on your way to Ebay Town Hall.

Also, every attendee staying at the Marriott will get free internet in their guest room. Just in case you have to work when you’re not partying with us :)
