SANTA BARBARA, Calif.,
May 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- Worldwide digital e-commerce and subscription management
leader FastSpring (FastSpring.com) today announced
its status as the Gold Sponsor of this year's AltConf 2015
(AltConf.com) event, which takes place in San Francisco, California from June 8-12, 2015.
AltConf is a free, community-driven event, assembled to serve
developers and a product-driven community. Held in downtown
San Francisco at the AMC Metreon
this year (with 1,000 seats spread over three theatres), AltConf is
an annual event timed to coincide with Apple's Worldwide Developers
Conference (or WWDC) that will take place just across the street
from Moscone West (site of the 2015 WWDC). As the site of AltConf
2015, the AMC Metreon will provide easy access to all WWDC-related
events for AltConf attendees throughout the week.
"As FastSpring is dedicated to promoting and supporting digital
e-commerce across the globe, we're especially proud to be the Gold
Sponsor for AltConf 2015," comments FastSpring CEO Chris Lueck. "Each year, AltConf helps to
connect a rich and diverse audience of developers, entrepreneurs
and visionaries, and we're excited to be a part of this year's
event."
"AltConf is made possible by the generosity of some wonderful
sponsors, who graciously help the community by enabling the
conference to rent a venue, give away swag, and the countless other
expenses it takes to put on a fantastic event," comments
John Wilker, COO of AltConf
2015. "FastSpring is returning for a second year of sponsorship,
and we couldn't be happier, as FastSpring has been a massive
supporter of the community, through both their sponsorship of
AltConf and their contribution to making the community better
during the week of the conference."
AltConf began in 2011 as the tech community's alternative
response to Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) and its
increasingly inaccessible tickets, providing a separate and highly
useful annual networking opportunity for developers on Apple's
platforms, many of whom fly to San
Francisco each year for WWDC and then find themselves at a
loss without tickets or access to WWDC. The volunteer-driven
AltConf event helps to offer San
Francisco attendees an exciting alternative, with or without
a WWDC ticket, and the event now returns each year at the same time
as Apple's WWDC, providing a centralized place for Apple
enthusiasts to gather while offering thought-provoking talks and
panel discussions each day. The 2015 staging of AltConf marks
FastSpring's second straight year as a major sponsor of the event,
and in addition to FastSpring, other 2015 AltConf sponsors include
CodePath, Smile, Sauce Labs, and Raizlabs.
Confirmed speakers for AltConf 2015 will include FastSpring CEO
Chris Lueck, along with speakers
from Facebook, Twitter, Khan Academy, Giant Spacekat, Capital One,
Raizlabs, Cydia, Bombing Brain Interactive, and many more.
AltConf 2015 Tickets and Info
AltConf has been completely free for the past four years since
launch, and in 2015 tickets are free once again. However, thanks to
high demand for the 2015 event, this year a limited number of paid
tickets are available at $300 each.
These paid tickets will provide guaranteed seating, a swag bag, and
an official reason for employers to approve attendance. Proceeds
from ticket sales will fund AltConf's ongoing efforts in increasing
diversity at future conferences, while the majority of tickets will
remain free. For more ticket information on AltConf 2015, visit
