We're in the final stretch now, and everything's shaping up for an amazing DrupalCon Sydney. Even the weather looks like it'll cooperate for the most part!

The main thing to pay attention to is the schedule is now live at http://sydney2013.drupal.org/program/schedule

Drupal Business Day has been selling strongly in the past couple of weeks, and we're now down to the last batch of tickets if you're planning to attend. http://sydney2013.drupal.org/drupal-business-day

Hey everyone

I can unfortunately (!) not attend our awesome DrupalCon Sydney, so I need to get rid of my ticket for this.
A bit last minute I know, but. Is there still people out there who need a ticket?

If so, then either contact me here or on twitter: tinefin.

Would love it if I can find someone.

Cheers

Just a final callout to those attending DrupalCon Sydney. We still have positions open for room monitors, so if you're able to help out, sign up here http://sydney2013.drupal.org/sign-drupalcon-site-volunteer-shift.

Any questions please email me dcsyd.volunteers@gmail.com

We'll be finalising numbers shortly for the full week of Drupal Training courses running after DrupalCon Sydney from Feb 11-15.

The courses range from the introductory Drupal in a Day through to advanced Module Development, with Site Building and Theming in between, all following Acquia's globally recognised curriculum.

DrupalCon attendees get 20% off regular fees, so check out all the details and sign up now at http://www.learndrupal.com.au/drupalcon

We've just published a page listing planned social activities for DrupalCon Sydney at http://sydney2013.drupal.org/social-activities

This kicks off on Wednesday afternoon at 4pm with casual drinks following the Drupal Business Day and training at the Oceans Bar in the Crowne Plaza hotel, and is open to all conference attendees.

Thanks to everybody who registered on Friday to ensure we had the numbers to run Drupal Business Day.

If you missed out on tickets for the main conference, this is now the only DrupalCon event with tickets remaining. DrupalCon ticket holders also need to register separately for Drupal Business Day.

It's an ideal opportunity to hear how Drupal and open source technology is being used in large organisations like the Australian Government, SBS and FlightCentre, and to have your questions addressed by a panel of international experts.

I hope we dodge a 45º day for DrupalCon - Sydney's melting around our ears at the moment ;-)

The cut off for minimum registrations for the Drupal Business Day is today, so if you've been wavering about attending, now's your last chance to help ensure it goes ahead. It's a fantastic alternative if you've missed out on tickets to the main conference, and a fun extension for anyone wanting to experience all four days of the event.

Check out the speaker line up and register for the fully catered day before 6pm today at http://sydney2013.drupal.org/drupal-business-day

Paul Johnson has put together a robust call to action in his blog post about Drupal Business Day at http://bit.ly/UlLteN which makes for entertaining and informative reading.

The basic gist is we need to sell a minimum 15 more tickets by this Friday January 16 for the day to go ahead, so there's no time to waste getting the word out about it. Paul's post has a load of tips about how you can help so DrupalCon Sydney is really about "Growing Drupal Downunder" to a new base of users.

We're now less than 30 days out from DrupalCon Sydney, and our Content Lead, Donna Benjamin (kattekrab), has posted a great rundown of what's in store at http://drupal.org/node/1881638

The main thing we're now focusing on is registrations for the Drupal Business Day (http://sydney2013.drupal.org/drupal-business-day) and Training courses (http://sydney2013.drupal.org/training).

With only 51 days until DrupalCon Sydney, the focus has now moved to selling out the Drupal Business Day and DrupalCon Trainings.

Drupal Business Day is perfect for anyone wanting to learn and share from experiences of using Drupal within larger organisations. For Drupal services companies, it's an ideal opportunity to invite your current and prospective clients, and fantastic value at only $195 for a fully-catered day.
