First and foremost, I want to thank those who have already registered and will be attending. I also want to thank our platinum level sponsors for helping to make this event possible with a great lineup of top-notch speakers!
Also coming in as sponsors so far are FarPoint, Wrox and Infragistics, all providing some money and some giveaways as well! Please consider these companies and what they do for our communities and offer for your professional needs.
I hope this email finds you all well and enjoying your summer! Its finally quit raining here in Oklahoma City and the sun is shining and the weather is in the mid 90s, so its feeling like summer time finally!
We have some awesome giveaways. Over 2 dozen books, Vista Ultimate, Office Ultimate, Red-Gate ANTS Profiler, CodeRush, Refactor Pro and much more, including suites from FarPoint and Infragistics. Don’t hold me to this, but their *might* be a Zune in the mix as well!
We were not able to work out a suitable or acceptable deal with the 2 hotels we approached about discounts. The most we were able to get were $10 discounts, and you would have had to have reserved by the end of this week.
The Crowne Plaza hotel is where we recommend staying. http://www.cpokc.com/ It has rooms for as little as $99 per night. There are many, many other hotels in the area though. Any hotel that is located on NW Expressway in Oklahoma City is going to be easy access to the code camp. There is also 2 Marriott hotels, one called the Waterford (http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/okcwa-waterford-marriott/) and the other (http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/okcok-oklahoma-city-marriott/). All very nice hotels. Again, anything on NW Expressway in Oklahoma City will be easy access.
We are still looking and working to drive up the attendance, so please pass along the information about the code camp to co-workers and friends!
Thanks again,
Raymond Lewallen
