Things are starting to heat up over on the DevCon blog and the eBay Developer blog because early-bird registration for this Summer’s eBay and PayPal Developer’s Conference is open and will be through April 30.

Conference Highlights
* Education – You’ve got skills. We’ve got hundreds of ways to take them to the next level, including sessions, labs, training and our impromptu “hallway” track where you swap tips and tricks with your peers. Don’t forget your laptop!
* Inspiration – Want to know where our industry is going? We’ve lined up several e-commerce visionaries, including some of our senior executives and other industry leaders, who will share their insights and inspire you to greater heights.
* Networking – Big ideas often start with a conversation over a frosty beverage and some sketches on the back of a napkin. That’s why we have tons of networking opportunities, including our ever-popular Beer Bash and PayPal After Party!
* Cool tools! – Need a competitive advantage, or just an excuse to check out all the latest gadgets? We’ve got hundreds of developer support tools and solutions on display that can help you be more productive.

You can check out the breakdown of the conference schedule here.

Because this year’s conference is taking place at the eBay North Campus in San Jose I’m also hoping to organize a meet up for folks near our offices so we can catch up over a beer or two. It will be great to put names to faces.

Cheers,
