We're exciting to be releasing our first batch of tickets, speakers, and side events.

The Main Conference is Saturday and Sunday (March 28th & 29th), with two tracks each day, plus flex space for extra discussions, and includes breakfast, lunch, and coffee break snacks.

Side events of extended discussions, workshops, and more are happening on Thursday and Friday (March 26th & 27th) and are also included in your base ticket.

The ATScience event is already listed as an option in your ticket registration, plus two Bluesky Developer Workshops are also listed, which you'll hear more detail about next week.

This is a community conference, so we aim to make tickets as affordable as possible, as well as setting aside budget for a travel support fund. At the same time, know that your individual tickets end up being the single largest revenue source!

Early Bird Tickets on sale now!

We've already seen people making plans to take the train from Chicago and other such shenanigans, so it's definitely time to put tickets officially on sale.

Early Bird

Our tickets are sliding scale. Early Bird is suggested at $199USD, but can go as low as $149USD.

Corporate Supporter

Our Corporate Supporter tickets are like a mini-sponsorship. Buy this ticket to help support community travel, speaker support, and low-cost tickets for all.

You'll be recognized with a supporter badge in your conference profile and thanked for supporting our community conference! Tickets are listed as $349USD, with a suggested minimum of $249USD.

T-Shirts

We're going to be making conference t-shirts this year, but we're not including them in the base price of the tickets — we don't want to be giving out things that people don't want.

The design isn't totally finalized, but you'll see the option to add a t-shirt purchase to your ticket, and you'll have other options to purchase, including remote shipping.

Remote Attendance

Yes, we will be streaming thanks to Streamplace's sponsorship again this year. Two tracks of the main conference will be streamed, and some select pre-conference activities and workshops will also be available remotely.

We've written up a FAQ about attending remotely, and will have more remote / hybrid activities to announce.

We'll release remote tickets once we have more to confirm, which will be pay-what-you-want, include a no charge option so everyone can participate.

Conference Hotel

Our conference hotel is now available for booking. See the FAQ entry for full details.

Studio room with kitchenette, $189CAD per night right next to the main conference venue.

Speaker Announcement

We're running a mix of invited, curated speaker invitations, as well as an open call for proposals which we published earlier this week. (thanks to organizer Nick, who is wrangling the CFP!)

Today, we are happy to announce a short list of speakers that have already committed to presenting.

Thanks to all of the speakers for spending their time on preparing talks and taking time to travel and join us. We do have some travel support available.

Sponsor Support

Bluesky is our title sponsor this year, and Streamplace is our video sponsor.

Graze came on board as a Major Sponsor this year, and Cosmik Network is a Major Sponsor producing the ATScience side event.

We have a few more new sponsors to announce next week in a dedicated post, and still have sponsorship opportunities available. Get in touch if you'd like to discuss getting involved.

P.S. Congrats to jonathan for scooping our ticket sales before we hit publish.
