Video saved the conference star

ApacheCon offers a fantastic opportunity to meet up with your peers and gather new ideas. Many attendees tell us that the time they spend outside the official sessions – networking, sharing ideas and learning from others – is as valuable as the structured conference time. But if you can’t make it, we can help to ensure you don’t miss out on some of the star presentations.

We’ll be streaming keynotes and lunch presentations for free, so that everybody can share in these agenda-setting talks.

You can also access video streams of one selected track each day, for a fee:

• Wednesday: Geeks for Geeks (Hadoop)
• Thursday: Tomcat for Developers and Administrators
• Friday: HTTP Server Administration

If you can’t be in Amsterdam because you have a diary clash, don’t worry: buying a streaming video pass grants you access to the recorded conference sessions after the event.

The fee for participating in the live streaming is US$119 for residents outside the EU, and EUR 99 (including 19% VAT) for residents of the EU. You can see the program for the streamed tracks and sign up to watch here.

And if that program makes you wish you were here, it’s still not too late to join us in person! Register for ApacheCon now to make sure you don’t miss out on one of the most important software industry dates in 2009’s calendar.
