EECI2010 pre Party @ SXSW
The EECI2010 Conference - The premier ExpressionEngine and CodeIgniter Conference - and your cool friends from Ellislab invite you for a night out @ SXSW. Join us Monday night at The Library together with your friends from the EE & CI community. We'll serve you beer and pizza and even give away some free tickets to the EECI2010 conference.
We have a limited capacity of 120 people, so hurry up and register now.
Introducing the Codeshare Corner

Amidst the throng of activity at EECI2010 San Francisco, the Code Share Corner (CSC) will be an oasis of calm and enlightenment for exhibitors and attendees to exchange code and ideas, connect with others, and discuss business.
This will be a comfortable lounge where you can sit and relax, grab a cup of coffee, and empty your mind. This innovative space will be powered by Solspace, the main exhibitor at CSC.
Features of the CSC include:
- Plenty of lounge chairs
- Eight business seats (with iMac and Internet connections) for demos and code sharing
- A bar selling coffee, sandwiches, and snacks
- Several exhibitors (including Solspace, EE Coder, EngineHosting, CartThrob and Ellislab)
- Recharging points for your laptops and cell phones
The CSC will be a creative space where members of the EE/CI community can meet and exchange ideas and insights. Maybe we’ll all be gathering around the business seats exploring ideas together and exchanging code. In turn, perhaps we’ll witness the beginnings of the next wave of incredible addons and tools.
You won’t want to miss this opportunity to kick back with the great and the good of the biggest EE/CI event of the year. Bring yourself, bring your ideas, and bring an open mind.
