We're happy to announce the first sponsor of DConf 2015: Utah Valley University. In addition to providing conference venue, UVU will cover room rental fees and simplify logistics and paperwork.

Many thanks to UVU and especially its Computer Science Department Chair, Chuck Allison, who was instrumental in making this happen.

This is great news, and hopefully a precedent to be followed.


Thanks,

Andrei

Awesome!

Questions:

1) There will be no kickstarter this year?

2) I'm from another country, and I'd like to participate/attend this year, do you already know about prices for tickets etc? (And this will be a good excuse to take my visa!). :D

We haven't yet decided. If you fly from outside North America, travel costs may likely dominate.

I encourage everyone to apply for visa as soon as possible. US visa process can be frustratingly delayed depending on many unknown factors.

We've lost speakers in the past due to visa delays. I agree that it's never too early to get this done.
