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.

A quick reminder that we'll be running a full week of Acquia Drupal Training courses after DrupalCon Sydney, and providing 20% off for DrupalCon attendees. The courses cover everything from a Drupal introduction through to advanced module development.

We'll need to finalise numbers within the next couple of weeks, so register your interest in attending at http://www.learndrupal.com.au/drupalcon

Thanks!

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. Full details and registration available at http://sydney2013.drupal.org/drupal-business-day

60 days out from the event, and we're pleased to announce that DrupalCon Sydney's main ticket allocation just sold out!

If you've missed out, there will be a final, very small release of tickets in mid January at the late price of $440 once any unused sponsor coupons and double bookings have been reconciled. You can sign up for the waiting list at http://sydney2013.drupal.org/node/1288, and these tickets will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

We're now down to about 25 regular tickets left for DrupalCon Sydney, so it might be your last chance to attend before we lock sales. Grab your ticket now at http://sydney2013.drupal.org/register

If you've received a coupon as a speaker, sponsor or pre-paid ticket, please redeem these coupons ASAP so we can finalise registrations. This can be done via the registration link above, and you'll be prompted for the coupon code on checkout.

Since finalising the accepted sessions for DrupalCon Sydney, we've seen a big spike in ticket sales, and will be close to the venue capacity within the next couple of weeks, so don't miss out and register ASAP.
