It’s finally happening. A big tech event I’ve actually heard about before is coming to Atlanta. It’s called Webmaster Jam Session and it is a forum for designers, developers and the rest of the lot to exchange knowledge and socialize. I usually don’t use my blog to spread the word about events like this but I’m rather excited to finally learn from and meet web legends I’ve followed online for quite some time. I’ll backtrack a bit first and explain Webmaster Jam Session.
Actually, I’ll just quote what’s on their website.
A two day event with some of the best Web designers, developers, marketers and visionaries in the world. Learn about the latest ideas and trends in Web design, development, search engine optimization, and social media. You will make new friends, get answers to your questions, learn a lot, and be inspired
Some speakers I’m looking forward to meeting include Nathan Smith, Dan Rubin, Jeff Croft and Chris Pederick (remember the Firefox web developer extension?). Now to the point of this post: there are limited spots so if you even live a few states over, definitely consider attending. Unfortunately, it’s not often we get this kind of thing in Atlanta. Thanks to CoffeeCup’s J Cornelius for letting me know about this!
What was the last tech/web dev conference you’ve attended?
Disclosure: I don’t receive any kind of compensation for spreading the word about Webmaster Jam Session, I just want people to experience it too. That being said, if you use the code “BLUEDOG” it’ll take 20% off registration.
PaulStamatiou.com runs on the Thesis Theme for WordPress
Thesis is the search engine optimized WordPress theme of choice for serious online publishers. If you’re a blogger who doesn’t understand a lot of PHP, Thesis will give a ton of functionality without having to alter any code. For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via Thesis hooks.
With so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site. The theme is robust and flexible enough not only to accommodate a site like PaulStamatiou.com, but also to enable the site to run far more efficiently than it ever has before.
I used the Scribe WordPress plugin and service to optimize this blog post for SEO.

Hey Paul, I saw your Twitter to Dan Rubin about meeting up and I hadn’t even thought before then that I could finally meet you when I’m in Atlanta. We’ll definitely have to say hi over a couple of beers or something.
Sounds good. :-)
Hey Paul, thanks for the heads up! It’s really good to see a conference like this one coming to Atlanta. I can’t wait. And thanks for the invite discount code!
Glad to hear you’re going Paul! I went to last year’s and got more out of it than I thought I would. Me and a couple of coworkers are driving up from Augusta the night before. Hope to see you there!
I’m in the atlanta area, and I definetly plan on attending. Worth the $200 in my book.
@Paul & @Chris’s P. and H. – Definitely looking forward to much meeting in person over drinks. Smaller conferences are the best for just this reason (enough time to see everyone there).
I will be there, I had already registered before I read this, but I am glad to see you will be there stammy.
I look forward to seeing you all there. The last tech event I went to that was east coast was Cre24 in Chattanooga!
@ATLChris – the cre824 back in 2005 when they had a diggnation taping? I was there. ;-)
@Paul Stamatiou Yep, that was the one. It was a very awesome conference. I learned a lot, and, I got to sit and talk to Kevin Rose about web standards for like an hour!
This should be an exciting event…………..hope to be there.
