UPDATE: Matt Speaking at 10:15am
Please forgive me on this one. Entirely my mistake.
Matt is speaking at 10:15, not 9:30am.
Please refer to the original schedule posted here for complete details:

Speaker Update
Unfortunately, as of writing this, Michael Hampton will not be able to make it to WordCamp NY. Due to unforseen circumstances, he simply cannot make it.
If news comes up about a replacement speaker, I will post an update here.
I deeply apologize.
Matt Mullenweg Speaking at 10:15am
Schedule update!
Matt Mullenweg is speaking at 9:30am 10:15am as the first speaker of the event.
Make sure to there early!
Breakfast will be start at 9:00am 9:45am, doors will be open around 9:15am
Thanks!
Breakfast & Lunch are Included
Just a heads up for everyone, I just finalized the breakfast order.
Since it’s an early day for everyone and a lot of people are coming in via the train, I decided it would be best to just cater breakfast.
So, that said, your $30 ticket will include:
- Breakfast
- Lunch
- a WordCamp NY t-shirt
- an opportunity to meet Matt Mullenweg (Be sure to get there early for this because he will be speaking in the morning)
You need a ticket to get into the event!
Folks, I know some of you are going to want to walk up to the event and pay at the door, but YOU NEED A TICKET.
The event is already sold out, so if you didn’t get a ticket for this year, I have already started the planning for next year and you can make sure to sign up for that event.
If you want to ensure that you get a ticket for next year, sign up for the mailing list.
Again, no walk-ups will be accepted because we’re at the max of the venue. Apologies to those that wanted to try to walk-up to the event. I have to close it off for ticketed attendees only.

WordCamp NY 2008 is SOLD OUT!
That’s right folks! We even went a little over the max!
152 tickets sold for the event! It’s going to be a great weekend coming up!
I’m still trying to finalize the schedule, but it’s pretty set in stone right now.
I will publish the schedule soon.
Thanks everyone!
T-Shirts Ordered, First Come First Serve
So I put in the order for the tshirts. Around 100 confirmed sizes, but I’ll be ordering around 160 or 170 so there will be some extra for people to purchase — and so everyone gets one at least.
A huge thank you to Matt Thomas for providing the design details, you totally rock!
PS, Matt has been an invaluable asset to me in planning WordCamp NY.
Last Day to Get Your T-shirt Size!
I will be putting in the order for t-shirts tomorrow to get printed for the event.
I will be ordering a few extra, but if you want to ensure you get your size, you will need to register for WordCamp NY 2008 today!
