RailsConf will be held right here in Portland this year, so no travelling for me this time around. The conference is being held at the Oregon Convention Center (the same place OSCON is held every year), so it’s a huge improvement over the shitty hotel in Chicago where it was held last year.

Registration just opened a couple of hours ago. This year the registration fee is higher and the venue is a lot larger so it probably won’t sell out as quickly as last year. But, if you want to go, I would sign up soon. I already did.

Updates:

• 7 hours later: I’m glad I bought mine early, because they might sell out faster than last year.
• 3 days later: RailsConf ‘07 sells faster than any other O’Reilly conference
• 9 days later: close to 75% of the tickets have now been sold.
• 22 days later: Sold out
