CareerCampSCV is officially a sell-out!
As of early Friday evening, all 200 CareerCampSCV tickets have been “sold”!
There is a waiting list, and people who would like to attend can join a short line at the venue. As there are always a certain number of people who cannot attend for some reason, there should be openings after we admit the current ticketholders.
We are greatly impressed by the response of the Santa Clarita Valley community and are looking forward to a great unconference tomorrow!
CareerCampSCV is this weekend! A few tickets are still available.
We are just a few days away from CareerCampSCV, but you can still be part of it! There are about 30 tickets left as I write and you can register, for FREE, using the link immediately to the right.
Join us for a day of “Helping to Build the Career You Deserve!”
