As co-founder of iPhone Developer’s Camp, I maintain contact with developer communities all over the world. One very passionate group has formed in the Netherlands, and has invited me to sponsor, organize, and speak during two great events. The first is a daylong hackathon:

iPhoneDevCamp Amsterdam
November 25th, 2009
11am-4pm (with lunch break)
Westergasfabriek
Attendance Max: 200 people
Also sponsored by One More Thing and PayPal

The second is a two-day conference:

iCE Amsterdam
November 26-27, 2009
Westergasfabriek
Session entitled “The Dollar App” on the 26th
Session entitled “Market Your App Through Social Media” on the 27th

One feature of these events is that we’ll have my book 140 Characters on site for purchase and I’ll be signing them throughout the week. In addition, we are reaching out to the larger iPhoneDevCamp Netherlands community with a special offer:

All students and iPhoneDevCamp.nl attendees who join us at iPhoneDevCamp Amsterdam on the 25th may attend iCE Amsterdam for 75.00€, incl. VAT (a discount of 470.00€). In addition, all qualifying registrants will receive a free copy of 140 Characters: A Style Guide for the Short Form with their purchase. Simply comment here or email the organizers to identify yourself.

I’m very excited to visit Amsterdam for the first time with my wife Meredith, and Hypertext Edition coders Jonathan Wight & Mike Lee, among other excellent presenters. We do hope to broadcast a portion of the proceedings so stay tuned for more information as the date approaches.
