Sold 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.
