techbash 2016 – Morning Dew by Alvin Ashcraft

Thank you from TechBash 2016 – Save the Date for TechBash 2017

Posted on September 30, 2016 | by Alvin A.

This is just a quick note to say thank you to all of the TechBash attendees, speakers, sponsors, volunteers, as well as the Kalahari staff and my fellow organizers. From all of the feedback we have received so far this week, it feels like TechBash 2016 was a success.

This morning before Glenn Block’s “How OSS Is Changing the World” keynote session we announced that we will return to the Kalahari Resort & Waterpark October 4-6, 2017. Please save the date. In the coming weeks we will have announcements about early bird pricing and availability. We hope to see you at TechBash 2017!

Stay tuned for a more complete wrap-up post next week.
