AndroidTO Conference: Android in Canada Heads to Toronto
What the event was
AndroidTO was an Android conference with workshops and a chance to meet other people working with the platform. A day earlier, the site had mentioned it, and the author later confirmed being able to go after a schedule change. The organizers gave the author a press pass.
Ticket prices at the time
| Ticket | Price at the time |
|---|---|
| Regular ticket | $200 |
| With the organizers' discount | $100 |
| Student with the discount | $25 |
The discount took 50% off the regular price. These figures are historical, and the offer has long expired. For a full conference, the original post still considered even the regular price reasonable.
The free ticket giveaway
The organizers also set aside two more free tickets. Entrants had to explain why they should get one, either by commenting or by posting on social media. The author planned to announce the winners that Friday. The giveaway is closed.
Plans for the coverage
- The author asked readers which workshops to attend and who to talk to.
- They wondered whether readers wanted interviews with app developers or with manufacturers.
- They joked about wearing a press hat in the style of a classic newspaper photographer.
