Perhaps the most exciting event to be held in our area is taking place on January 18-19, 2007 in Sandusky. This conference is being organized entirely by volunteers from the developer community (NWNUG leadership included). It promises to be an event that you do not want to miss!
Conference registration is a mere $99, with a hotel room rate of $88/night if you register before 12/18/2006! For the record, this is a fantastic price not only for a conference of this calibur, but also for the Kalahari resort (which also includes admission to the indoor waterpark)!
The official CodeMash Invitation:
