Valio Con is the FUN conference. This is our fourth annual conference, and each year it gets better and better. Our goal is to inspire you to create and build amazing things.
The conference is on the beach in San Diego, California. We can't think of a better place to connect with friends, old and new, than in a relaxed beach environment with sunny walks on the warm sand, and inspiring talks from people doing amazing things.
You'll hear talks from people who are 'doers' and risk-takers. They'll be sharing their inspiring stories on how they've built their own products, services and projects.
Your ticket comes with a lot more than just entrance to the conference. You'll also get free breakfast and lunch each day! The official Valio Con 2014 t-shirt. A chance to win some cool stuff multiple times each day. Tickets do NOT include a hotel stay, you must book that separately. We highly suggest the Catamaran.
We'll also be doing a bunch of fun activities, like: a Bonfire, our annual 'Drink Night' with custom brewed beers and wines just for Valio Con, a nightly cruise boat and a ton more!
