In case you haven't heard, there is an
amazing Student offer for JavaOne this year- Students get in free!
Plus, they can sign up for CommunityOne at the same time. Both passes
are full conference passes with access to everything! Educators (your
professors) can also get in free when they bring 10 students with
them to the conference. If they aren't able to do this, they 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!), plus you will be able to check email any time at one of
our many hacker stations.
PLUS
Admission to the
CommunityOne Deep-Dives. What does this mean? FREE training by our
very own SLS on some really great topics, plus hugely discounted
certification (vouchers will be handed out at the event)-
certification can even be done on-site! 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.
Here is the registration page set up just
for students:
