YAPC::Asia 2007 Tokyo - April 4-5 2007

We are updating the conference Wiki and today we posted the suggestions for the hotels around the venue.

See the Wiki page Recommended Hotels for details, but we are now recommending Kadoya Hotel and Toyoko Inn Shinjuku. They're both stayable with decent prices (around 7,500 JPY single per day), have internet connection available in all rooms and accept credit cards such as VISA and Master.

If you need more suggestions or help about your accommodations in Tokyo, email us at team[at]yapcasia.org. If you're looking for a room mate to share the hotel room, post your name on the Wiki page.

Due to our busy schedule, we now update the deadline for the Call For Presentations. The new deadline is January 31st 23:59 UTC. Note that the new one is sooner than the originally announced one, rather than later.

If you have some ideas you'd like to talk about, whip it up and Submit NOW!

We setup the conference Wiki and IRC channel (#yapc.asia on freenode). I hope they would be useful for people planning the flights from overseas.

Join the IRC channel now and give any question you might have.
