Right With You

Just over a week ago, we made the decision to delay the launch of the new Build website beyond our original date of last Friday. At that point, it was clear that some events still needed work and we weren’t just ready to throw the switch. So—we’ve come up with a new plan.

Our new website will go live at midday this coming Monday—at which point we’ll announce the full lineup and schedule for the conference, as well as the majority of the fringe events that will be happening throughout Build. Over the course of next week, we’ll continue to bring the rest of the week’s schedule online, resulting in passes going on sale at midday on Friday 8th April.

You can follow the countdown and sign up to the mailing list over at http://2011.buildconf.com. We’ll email you once on Monday to let you know that we’ve launched, and then again on Friday to let you know that the tickets are on sale.

We’ve made some pretty exciting improvements this year, building upon what the event has evolved into over the past two years to now fill an entire five days with everything from talks, workshops, lectures, exhibitions, film screenings, parties—and some events that are completely new to our schedule in 2011. This is what Build has been working towards since its inception, it’s exciting to see it almost fully realised and it’s even more exciting to finally get to share it with everyone next week.

It’s also worth taking a moment to sing the praises of Kyle Meyer and Stuart Johnston for working with me to get everything designed, built and tested ready for launch. Our website looks absolutely incredible this year, and it’s down to their tireless efforts and unyielding perfectionism that it’s so solid.

‘til Monday!
