You Ought to Go to TRAFFIC and You Ought to Register Today

Get a conference pass ahead of the price increases tomorrow.

I don’t always go around endorsing conferences. But if you’ve never been to a conference or if you’re on the fence regarding attending the Vancouver TRAFFIC conference next month, here’s my message: do it. But you ought to register today to take advantage of the $395 conference pass (the price goes up $200 tomorrow).

This may be the least expensive domain conference you’ll ever attend if you’re in North America. Let me break it down for you:

Conference pass: $395
Hotel (3 nights): $765 CAN counting taxes and fees
Roundtrip Airfare (from NYC): $400

Add that up and it’s regarding $1500 plus a taxi for the entire trip. That’s cheaper than most people paid for just the conference pass at previous events.

On top of that, it’s Vancouver.

So if you’re on the fence, I think this is one you ought to go for. And if you make the trip, please let me know so we can connect there.

(No, Rick didn’t ask me to write this. I just think this conference will be a good deal.)
