BlackBerry DevCon Europe is Sold Out!

[BBNation]

That was a bit unexpected. RIM has been pushing hard to sign up developers for BlackBerry DevCon Europe in Amsterdam from February 7-8th. They have been offering aggressive discounts and incentives but I was surprised when JoDo let me know that is is now SOLD OUT! RIM confirmed as much on their DevCon Website saying that registration is now closed. As far as I know the capacity was 1,000 developers (at least according to the sponsor prospectus PDF) which is a nice following for RIM.

Darn! I was going to drive over. Seriously, this is good news, lots of interest in BlackBerry outside the U.S., where people seem to be...smarter. Thanks BBNation.

Well, we Americans are pretty smart-just a little more particular than the average nation. Any ways, this seems to be terrific news for a system that noone wants to develop for. Could the early commitment to HTML5 have something to do with this? Hmmm...

priceless last sentence.

It is GREAT news....I just wish it hadn't been sold out with heavy marketing & sales...That would have been even better

Cant wait. Hope there is some new stuff presented, maybe some more info on Cascades UI

Europe to save RIM ? We're ready.
