We are pleased to announce that in response to the great interest in the Early-Bird registration, we have decided to extend it with 1 week.  Early-Bird registration will end on September 22 and volume discounts will be applicable after that date.

In addition, please note that all prices listed on the website have been updated to include VAT. The end-prices remain the same and until September 22 they should be calculated as follows:

        1 Standard Pass = EUR 120 with VAT applied - 20% Early-Bird discount = 120*0.8 = EUR 96.00

        1 VIP Pass= EUR 180 with VAT applied  - 20% Early-Bird discount = 180*0.8 = EUR 144.00

After September 22, the Early-Bird discount would no longer be applied, and the final price would be as follows:

        1 Standard Pass = EUR 120 (VAT included)

        1 VIP Pass= EUR 180 (VAT included)

Hi All,

Welcome to the DevReach 2008 blogs. In addition to the News section, which hosts a good deal of information about the conference in a somewhat formal way, we thought it would be nice to reach out to you in a more informal way and chat about the day-to-day event affairs. Apart from using the blogs to keep you posted on schedule changes, speakers, logistics, etc. we plan to discuss things that are of greater interest for you. We'd be happy to blog about anything for which you'd like to get more coverage so feel free to add a comment to this post with your questions.
