We've got a late addition to the line up (already on the schedule)!

360iDev - New to iPhone, get your hands on SDK 101 on.

We've got a ton of awesome training options for our free (for registered attendees) pre-conference training on Sunday 3/1.

All training is at the conference venue, so the place you'll be Mon-Wed is the place you'll be Sunday too. For those that don't know that address, it's

We've got Phonegap going on all day, for the JavaScript crowd to learn how to built native applications, with all the SDK API goodness, with JavaScript.

We've also got Tech2000 doing a half day, SDK 101 session, to introduce folks to the iPhone SDK and Obj-C world. Looking to get started with iPhone dev? This will be the session to get started.

In the afternoon, we've got Joe Pezillo doing his '3 hello worlds in 3 hours' session, showing how to build 3 different iPhone apps, using the 3 most common approaches.

By the time the conference kicks off Monday morning, you'll be all set to dive right into the awesome content we've got lined up.

It's not too late to register! Don't miss out on the iPhone developer event of the year (and not as crowded as WWDC)

360|iDev Evening Festivities - Sunday, Monday, Tues

Lots of people have been asking: Should I stay near the conference center? What they're really asking is: Are we gonna party? The answer is: Oh yeah, you betcha. The best thing is spouses/significant others/partners are invited to join you: FREE. Just let us know they're coming so we can make sure to have enough stuff.

We have 3 nights of great networking opportunities for you. The nice thing is that you won't have to go very far to party. Each night's revelry will be at the conference center, right outside the meeting rooms.

What can you expect? We'll have some appetizers to fill your belly along with some beverages to wash it all down. You can share a beer with a speaker or chat over a root beer float with a fellow attendee. If you're on twitter and made a drink suggestion, we passed that along to our caterer. If there's some particular appetizers you like, drop a comment and let us know. No guarantees, but we'll at least ask if we can get them.

In addition to drinks and munchies, we'll also have some Guitar Hero III and Rock Band action going on. You'd better practice before you arrive, because the competition tends to be fierce.

These are the sponsors that you can thank for each night's party, in addition to the time slots for each day.

Sunday - 6:30p to 8:30p - Nitobi and 360Conferences

Monday - 5:20p to 8:30p - O'Reilly

Tuesday - 5:20p to 8:30p - Medialets and 360Conferences

If you haven't registered yet, you should do so now. Prices went up to $350, but that price alone is worth the 3 nights of networking. Not to mention that you get 4 days of awesome sessions and training thrown in at no extra charge. ;)

360iDev - What does the conference mean for attendees?

We're almost there! 360|iDev is coming up fast! We're just a few weeks away!

We wanted to take a minute to make sure everyone knows what it means to be an attendee of a 360Conferences event, in case ya'll didn't know.

Starting Sunday, we offer our full day of hands on training, which is free for registered attendees. After you've crammed some awesome iPhone dev hands on knowledge into your brain, join us for a welcome reception Sunday night. It's our way of kicking off the conference with some fun times! It's at the conference venue, so it's easy to find. It's also your opportunity to pick up your conference badge and goodies (see a bit farther down) before Monday morning.

Monday kicks off the first real day of the conference, with a light breakfast (danishes and such) and then some more kick ass content. Lunch is provided, all three days, don't brownbag it, or plan to find your own, and hold on to your per diem :) We'll have your back, food wise all three days!

What can you expect when you check in for your badge?

Did some one say goodies? Every attendee gets a badge (of course), a 2GB USB drive with speaker presentations on it, and (if you opted for it) a copy of The Cluetrain Manifesto. You'll also get any printed collateral our sponsors provide.

We have two (if you've looked at the amazing schedule you know this) keynotes, Monday is a welcome keynote where Tom and I welcome everyone, and then the awesome Mike Lee will keynote.

Wednesday, Tom and I wrap up the conference with our keynote. We like to run down the conference, giving everyone a glimpse of what the conference is all about, what goes into it, all that.  We also give some time to the community to showcase what they're working on.  Have something you want to debut?  Have a secret something you want to show and get some feedback on?  Drop us a line info@360idev.com and let us know.

Not to mention that eBay is gonna give us a sneak peek on what they're working on during one of the keynotes.  It's their house and some people from their Research Lab is gonna give us a sneak peek at some of their iPhone development projects.

If you're not sure about 360|iDev, find a Flex developer, and ask them about 360|Flex, you'll be convinced.  Or just read some reviews of that show here.

Register now, don't miss the chance to be a part of the what will surely be the best iPhone developer conference!
