DevXS Data

At time of writing, we’ve eight places left for DevXS. Once they have been grabbed, a waiting list will open up in case some people do not confirm their registration or cancel over the next three weeks.

If you’ve not already registered, please do so right now. If you have registered, but have not responded to the confirmation email, please do so right now (check your spam folder if you don’t see the email). If you have confirmed your place (thanks!), please take a look at the data below to see if other people are attending from your university. If it looks like they are but you don’t know who they are, contact us and we’ll put you in touch.

Whether you’re coming as a group or on your own, we’ll be helping you organise teams on the Friday night so that everyone gets a chance to meet and learn something from each other over the course of the weekend.

Here are the conference stats as of Friday 21st October 2:49pm. We currently have 192 bookings…

Mapping DevXS

The map above shows the universities that are currently represented by people attending DevXS.

If your university isn’t shown on the map, then why not try and organise a team to head over to Lincoln for the weekend (11-13th November) to represent your university?

If you have already registered, have you thought about bringing a team with you to the event? We may already have other bookings from your institution — why not get together and travel over with them, maybe you could save money with a car share or going on public transport? You could even contact a lecturer who might be able to organise university transport and bring a team of you over to Lincoln for the weekend, it could be great fun!

Please let us know who your tutor is and we can liaise with them about parking and so-on. We’re keen to get in touch with tutors/supervisors/lecturers who you think will be supportive of DevXS and want to see their university represented. Email us a contact from your university and we’ll try to arrange something with them. Thanks!
