A couple of updates for everyone:

Firstly, we announced that we're partnering with United Airlines for an airport event at Austin Bergstrom International Airport. All funds raised from this event will be donated to the United We Care Employee Relief Fund which is our charity partner for the 2015 Austin Mega DO.

Secondly, we've selected the Sheraton Austin and the Hyatt Regency Austin as the official hotels for the event, but as earlier reported, there will not be an official group block or group rate available. Our expectation is that you're an experienced traveler and know how to book a hotel room at a decent rate.

As with last year, we will have a charity auction and raffle to benefit We Care. If you have items you'd like to donate to the raffle/auction, please let us know. We had a great list of unique items in 2014 and we're hoping to top that.

Finally, we're hoping to open registration in mid-November. We'll provide an update in the next week or so with the official registration time so that everyone can plan ahead and be available to register as soon as it opens so you can secure your spot at each of the events.

The website is the best place to go for the latest and greatest information. We'll also update this thread and our Facebook page and Twitter feed when updates are available.
