Big news, folks!
I just found out about an an amazing Student offer for JavaOne this year - Students get in free!
Same deal on CommunityOne. (Though the CommunityOne piece of it isn't so much in the big, big news category.) :-)
Both passes are full conference passes with access to everything!
But wait, there's more.
To all those educators out there, who are shaping young minds.... you can also get in free when you bring 10 students with you to the conference. If that's not doable, educators still get a fantastic deal of $895 for a full conference pass.
What is a Full Pass?
All the benefits of a FULL conference attendee, which includes: JavaOne general and technical sessions, panel discussions, HOLs (Hands-on-labs), BOFs (Birds-of-a-feather), the Pavilion and the After Dark Bash / Networking Mixer! Not to mention a "hang space" (which includes video games, movies & more!)
But wait, there's more.
Students get admission to the CommunityOne Deep-Dives. What does this mean? FREE training by Sun's Learning Services organization on some really great topics, plus hugely discounted certification. (Vouchers will be handed out at the event - certification can even be done on-site!)
But as we all know -- it's not what you know; it's who you know. There will also be numerous parties and chances for you to network with the best and brightest in the industry, from community leaders to "Rockstars" and everyone in between.
You want in on this deal?
Get in while the getting is good.
I would imagine there's some sort of "limited time" and "while supplies last" component to this, so I'd recommend you jump all over right away.
If I were you, that is.
Just sayin'.
