With less than a month until WordCamp Portland, here are a few updates:

Registration has been brisk, with the conference now more than half full. We’ll be capping the attendance at 150. We might be able to squeeze a few more folks into CubeSpace but it would be a squeeze and we want to ensure a good experience for everyone. We’ll be ending advance registration on September 20th or when we reach the 150-person count. If space is still available as of the 20th, we’ll allow walk-up registration on a first-come, first-served basis, but it’ll cost $15 and won’t include a T-shirt. For the best deal and to guarantee your spot, register now.

We’re looking for a couple more sponsors. Thanks to our current sponsors we’re in a pretty good spot financially but we could use a couple more sponsors to help make the event better for everyone. Interested in sponsoring? Drop Kelly a note.

Got an idea for a WordCamp session? That’s what our evening unconference is all about. Come to WordCamp with your idea, whether it’s something you’d like to present or something you’d like to learn. After lunch we’ll give everyone the opportunity to suggest topics and we’ll arrange them into loosely-organized sessions, BarCamp-style.

I’m excited by the great response thus far; WordCamp Portland should be a fun and educational event for all!
