The August Co-Founders MeetUp will be part of the Founder Conference, with 250+ founders, an amazing list of speakers and topics.

You can either register at http://founderconfere..., or register as usual on MeetUp.

Note that due to the extra logistics involved in putting this full conference together, we'd like you to sign up in advance (historically, the 150 people at the MeetUp sign up in the last two weeks!).

So you get an extra incentive to sign up now for $60 rather than the door price of $125. Just don't wait til the last minute, thanks! We have a generous refund policy, so that if it turns out that you can't make it, you can still cancel within a month of the event at no penalty to you.
