£150 is inline with other SE UK based 1 day conferences such as FullFrontal, Edge etc. I think that there must be good interest in this given that all the early bird tickets went in a day. Would be good to see a full lineup soon, but confs organised by devs for devs can only be a good thing. Also like to see a CoC on the site too (maybe I missed it).

That is way too expensive and I can't just ask my company to pay it.

Rather go to EMF camp[1] it's cheaper and it's a 3 day camp/talk everything you ever wanted.

Eh, it's in line with things like [1] - and substantially cheaper than things like [2]. Well below the cost of the employee's time.

EMF Camp sounds like fun, but it doesn't look like they're targeting the get-your-employer-to-pay market. By and large, corporate training doesn't run over the weekend and expect attendees to bring their own camping and cooking equipment! [3]

True.

However I have to pay out of my own pocket regardless and that's way more fun anyway.

£150 for conference which can't even post a full speaker list and agenda, i'll pass.

Daviey 11 years ago | |

Agreed, i'd probably go if it was FOC..

There's no CFP listed on the site, but the speaker list is far from complete, so I'm guessing anyone wanting to submit a talk should just mail the organisers?

pirosb3 11 years ago |

Anyone coming? :)

robhaswell 11 years ago | |

My company is plumping for a few tickets woot!

grkvlt 11 years ago | |

I'd like to give a talk, definitely sounds interesting.

pooogles 11 years ago | |

Just expensing a ticket now!

This is not an official event and not approved by the Docker team.

dscape 11 years ago | |

Yes, it's a community lead conference!

Daviey 11 years ago | |

So, is it a good or bad thing?

I'm guessing I'm invited to this one by default eh!?
