Quick reminder: there are only three rooms left in our block at the W. If you'd like one, book soon. 
Registration for the 2013 event should open in mid to late September.

Registration Opens Next Week!
After much wailing, gnashing of teeth, and the potential sacrifice of a small chicken, we're excited to announce that registration for the 2013 Austin Mega Do will open next week, September 26th at 6:00PM Eastern time. Plan your travel accordingly (or fly on an airline that offers GoGo
).
There are still rooms available in the special rate room blocks at both the W Austin and the Doubletree, but those rooms are filling fast. If you haven't made a reservation, we encourage you to do that quickly to secure the special rate, especially at the W.
As with last year, registration closes approximately one month prior to the start of the event. After this point, all registrations become non-refundable. More details surrounding the specifics of this window will be available on the signup page when it launches next week. Additionally, we're continuing our successful relationship with Google Checkout to collect the fees for all pre-paid events. We recommend that you check your Google Checkout and Google Wallet settings prior to beginning the registration process to help ensure that it is smooth and you don't get an e-mail from us stating that your reservation is hosed or, even worse, that an event filled before your payment was processed.
I'll post here next week when the registration page is available. Let us know if you have questions or need additional information.

Last time I looked they had four rooms left, so it may have booked up. I think the W still has one or two left, though that may have changed now that registration is open.
