TICKETS Tickets are now available for (seventh RacketCon), which happens at the University of Washington in Seattle on Oct 7-8, a beautiful autumn weekend.
Conference page: http://con.racket-lang.org/ <http://con.racket-lang.org/> Direct ticket link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/racketcon-2017-tickets-34928590354 <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/racketcon-2017-tickets-34928590354> Early-bird tickets are $75 ($45 for students), a discount of 25% from the late-bird price of $100 / $60. (Though we won't stop the virtuous and generous from paying full price now.) SCHEDULE This year, RacketCon is TWO days long. Because if we're all going to Seattle for the weekend, why cut the party short? First day: the usual mix of erudition and comedy, delivered by a series of fine speakers. Our keynoters will be Dan Friedman & Will Byrd. Second day: Racketeer Office Hours, where we get to enact IRL the epic software dramas that today are restricted to mailing lists and GitHub issues. It's all on the conference web page: http://con.racket-lang.org/ <http://con.racket-lang.org/> SPEAKERS Though our speaker roster is already the best ever, we still have room for a few more. Let's see some new faces this year. EVERYONE who works with Racket has something interesting to say about it. If you've been to one or two or three RacketCons — let this be the year that you step up to the stage. Email the boss of the speaker schedule, Vincent St-Amour: stamo...@eecs.northwestern.edu <mailto:stamo...@eecs.northwestern.edu> SPONSORS You should be a sponsor! Because what would RacketCon be without sponsors? I'll tell you: we'd be meeting at an Airbnb in Brookline, sharing a bag of Trader Joe's tortilla chips and some DD munchkins. Ticket prices don't cover the full costs of this fantastic event. As I mentioned at 6RC, I basically treat Racket as my personal money-printing machine. So it's with great pleasure that I raised my sponsorship level to $3000 this year. But it's not JUST about the catering. Rather, it's an easy way to give something back to this tremendous project, for which I pay nothing the other days of the year. Nor do you. So whether you have $500 or $5000, RacketCon will gladly take your money, and list you as a sponsor.
