The hotel booking deadline for this year's event has been extended to August 10. If you have not yet booked your stay, you still have some time to see to these important arrangements.

Also, if additional days are desired, either before or after the event (so-called "shoulder" or "side" days), you must phone the hotel (800-491-4656 or 416-240-7511) to make your reservations under the Warpstock group, as the online booking system is limited to the actual days of the event. Failure to phone for your reservations will result in a higher hotel rate than the negotiated group rate.

The first two fact sheets have been added for this year's event. If you haven't stopped over at the Fact Sheet index page, you might want to take a look.

The new sheets are:

• Fact Sheet 1 - Attending Warpstock 2017 (travelling to Canada from abroad)
• Fact Sheet 2 - Attending Warpstock 2017 (traveling from the US to Canada)

While early registration discounts have now closed, great deals may still be had for additional family members or office mates attending Warpstock 2017 with a regular attendee. Take 20% each of these additional registrations, right up to the event! Register now for Warpstock 2017.

Warpstock is the annual conference for OS/2, ArcaOS, and eComStation users, administrators, and developers. Warpstock 2017 will be held at the Holiday Inn Toronto Airport East, located at 600 Dixon Road Toronto, Ontario, Canada M9W 1J1., Friday, September 8 through Sunday, September 10, 2017.

The Warpstock Board of Directors is working hard to make this another enjoyable and informative event. We invite you to participate, either as a presenter or as an attendee. 2017 is a year of new beginnings for the OS/2 platform with the launch of an entirely new distribution, and there will be much to discuss at this year's Warpstock!

Register before May 31 and receive a 20% early bird discount on a full or daily conference registration! Also remember to book your hotel and travel early (we have negotiated great rates for this year's event - only $116 CAD/night single or double). Come early and stay a few days to see the sights and keep the conversation going!

The week has finally landed in the calendar (or something like that).

Safe travels to all of our attendees and presenters, some of whom are coming from long distances to be with us this year. Watch the Warpstock 2016 page for news about streaming links and event updates.

If you really wanted to make it to the conference this year but were not able to do so, please drop us a note (or comment here) to let us know what we could have done to have helped make it possible or what we should consider doing in the future to get more people to the event.

On behalf of the Warpstock Board of Directors, I bid you a warm welcome to this year's Warpstock conference, and look forward to seeing everyone later this week.

Tried to make the deadline for the early-bird discounts for Warpstock registration but just couldn't? There's still time to snag a significant break on the normal full conference registration rate of $149 and the daily rate of $99.

Register before September 1, and pay only $119 for a full conference registration or just $69 for a one-day pass to all sessions, including lunch!

Hurry, though, because our early-bird discount was so well received, we want to make sure there are rooms in the hotel and adequate meeting space for the event. The sooner we know how many attendees we'll have, the better we may plan ahead.

Official Warpstock 2015 merchandise is now available in our CafePress.com store. All items feature the official event logo, the Keeper of the Plains.

As an example, this great coffee mug is for sale at only $12.09, highlighting this beautiful artwork. Mega-size it for just $5 more!

More mugs, teddy bears, tote bags, refrigerator magnets, and a whole host of other things you might not have even realized are available, and don't forget the essential mousepad (even optical mice need smooth, non-reflective surfaces for optimum performance!) and the summer favorite BBQ apron.

The Warpstock Board of Directors is working hard to make this another enjoyable and informative event. We invite you to participate, either as a presenter or as an attendee. 2015 has been - and should continue to be - a year of motion and progress for the OS/2 community at large, so there should be a lot to discuss at this year's Warpstock!

Register before July 1 and receive a 20% early bird discount!!
