Registration is about to start for BB10 Jam World Tour sessions.
BlackBerry 10 Jam World Tour: Register

Things to know:
- it's FREE to attend!
- whether you receive a BB10 Dev Alpha device depends on information you put on your registration (I think that means they are trying to determine who are legitimate devs vs people trying to attend just to get a device)

[Fubaz]

i submitted my first app to app world last week, tweaking first, working on #2
attending Toronto, and hope to get a device.

[ignites]

i wonder if there are any beneifts to attend again :P (i know no phone)

[menaknow]

I have a playbook ready application that I hope will be compatible with BB10. Hope to get a phone to test...

[Magnetic_dud]

For registering, they ask me:
What is your AppWorld vendor membership account number?

account number?

[peter9477]

If you have an app posted in App World, your vendor number can be found in the URL for the vendor page. Find one of your apps in the web site, click the link to your vendor name, and look at the URL. The number within is the vendor number.

If you don't have a posted app... you may have to ask them. Last time I checked there was no other way to find it.

[Magnetic_dud]

Ah, I got it!

I thought it was the user account in the isvportal
https://appworld.blackberry.com/isvp...orUserId=xxxxx

that one it is different from this
http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/vendor/yyyyy

now i have to edit my bb10jam profile (luckily that can be changed)

Registration for all North American and Europe sessions are now open!

[Xopher]

Thought about attending (was at BB10Jam in Orlando) to get a little more of a resfresher after working with the SDK some, but there aren't any sessions nearby.

Thanks for the tip on finding the vendor number. I wouldn't have thought about looking at the URL. Definitely made note of it for future reference.

BB10 Jam Toronto has sold out!
Those looking to go to other sessions, don't procrastinate on your registration if you're thinking of going!
