After Party
We've been known for our unique after parties - and we plan on keeping that up this year. We have a few awesome things planned.
We are honored as heck to know that none other than Chris Coyier and Dave Rupert will be hanging out with us recording an episode of our favorite Web Design & Development podcast, Shop Talk!
Second, while we are still finalizing the location of the after-party, we can confirm that it will be within walking distance of the New Hazlett. The days of driving across town after our conference are long gone! This rules not only for the convenience, but also because the LA Dodgers are in town for a game that night.
