"My question always boils down to the same thing:
How much does this toolset facilitate building good abstractions?"
– Paul Snively

When?

September 26-28, Friday evening through Sunday afternoon. Check in starts at 3pm, dinner at 6:30pm.

Where?

In the redwoods of the San Francisco peninsula coastside, near Pescadero (between Santa Cruz and Half Moon Bay).

Price?

$500. This covers everything, including meals and a double-occupancy hotel-style room. For a bit less, $450, you can enjoy the familiar, rustic ambience of a camp-style cabin.

Conveniently located within easy driving distance for attendees in the Bay Area, the all-inclusive package includes food and lodging.

Attendance is limited, and should allow for exceptional interaction.
