We have officially opened registration for Southwest Fox 2024! The highly acclaimed developer conference is September 26-29, 2024.
Southwest Fox is a hybrid conference: in-person and virtual. The in-person event will be held at the Hampton Inn & Suites Phoenix-Scottsdale, the same location as last year, in the Phoenix suburb of Scottsdale. The virtual event will use the RingCentral platform (the same platform we use for Virtual Fox Fest). All sessions will be presented in a single room and will be streamed to the virtual event and recorded. This year we plan to add a second screen so people can see the presentations easier from the back of the room.
The in-person conference room is small, so we have to limit registrations for the in-person event to the first 40 people who register. Those who are not in the first 40 will be added to a wait list or can decide to register for the virtual event. The virtual side of Southwest Fox can handle an unlimited number of attendees. If you really want to attend in-person, we suggest you register as soon as practical.
Super-Saver Registration for in-person, which saves you $200 (or $100 for virtual), is available only through June 30th, so don't wait. Head over to the registration Web site today: https://geekgatherings.com/Registration. You'll have to select either the in-person event or the virtual event.
Registration fees start at $599 for in-person and $349 for virtual. More details are available on the conference's registration page.
Important hotel details: We have a limited number of rooms at the hotel for those attending in-person. We will send you the link once we process your registration.
Flights Please do NOT book your flights yet. Our hotel contract gives us some flexibility to see how registration is going before we're absolutely committed. We'll let you know when it's time to book.
