The cost for the event is normally $65 (an incredible value). The first 50 people who register will save $15 (are you kidding me... this is a crazy good deal). You can register here.

This event will be IZEA's equivalent to MacWorld. Expect to see the next generation of SocialSpark along with some other goodies. We will be launching a full IZEAFest website with additional information and confirmed speakers soon. I hope to see you there. 

Sponsorship packages are available. Please contact joe (at) izea (dotcom) for more information.
