It was announced on the Browser's Den Twitter feed that the event is a complete sell out!
The #BrowsersBash2015 is OFFICIALLY SOLD OUT (for the 2nd time). Over 250 people will be in attendance tomorrow! Will you be one of them?
— The Browser's Den (@theBrowsersDen) April 11, 2015
I'm one of the lucky ones attending and plan to be doing some combination of live-Tweeting and live-blogging of the event. Apologies in advance for clogging your feeds. To follow my Twitter account, you can use the web or use the Twitter widget on the right side of this page, under the "Selected Anniversaries" feature. If you're at the event and Tweeting, I encourage you to add the hashtag "#BrowsersBash2015" to your Tweets. I've added a feature just under the header of this page, which collects and posts all Tweets tagged in this fashion.
I look forward to seeing many of you tomorrow!
