Official Warpstock 2019 merchandise is now available in our CafePress.com store. All items feature the official event logo, the iconic gloved hand.

As an example, this 16oz stainless steel travel mug, insulated, and featuring unique hinged lid design, is for sale at only $13.80, highlighting this year's beautiful artwork, guaranteed to please (literally).

Wearables, drinkware, teddy bears, tote bags, and lots of other things are available now while supplies last.

(Note: Last year's artwork may be displayed for items on the main shop page, but clicking through to an item will indeed show the current logo. Expect this page to update fully in the next 24-48 hours.)

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.

Register before August 1, and pay only $134 for a full conference registration. That's an extra $15, yours to keep!

Registrations have been strong so far, which is good news for Warpstock and good news for potential future attendees. Let's make this year's event the best attended one in a long time!

Time is running out to save $30 - yes, that's THIRTY BUCKS! - on a full conference registration or $20 on a daily conference registration!

Register before June 1 to take advantage of these great deals.

Attendance at this year's Warpstock is critical to ensure the future of these live events. Orlando is truly wonderful in November, especially for those living in the more northern latitudes. There should be plenty of time to get outside to enjoy the Florida sunshine, and there are lots of extracurricular activities available.

Don't wait! Register NOW!

The annual conference for ArcaOS, OS/2, and eComStation users, administrators, and developers, is now open for registration!

Warpstock 2019 will be held at the Country Inn & Suites, Orlando Airport, located at 5440 Forbes Place, Orlando, Florida 32812.

This year we will display the OS/2 Museum West at the conference. The museum will be accepting donations of significant OS/2 Memorabilia.

Due to falling attendance over the last few years, we have to consider the continuation of Warpstock as an annual conference. If you were thinking of attending Warpstock, then this would be a good year to do it.

This year's event will begin Friday, November 8 and continue through Sunday, November 10. Find out more here!

Register before June 1 and receive a $30 Early Bird discount on a full conference registration or $20 on a daily conference registration! Spouses/family members/guests/office mates attending sessions also receive great discounts, and non-attending guests are FREE. Students with valid student ID are welcome to attend sessions at no charge, with full benefits!

As we wrap up the last of another successful Warpstock event, we want to extend our thoughts and prayers to all those affected by Hurricane Florence in the US. We are aware of at least one regular Warpstock attendee who is located within a designated evacuation area. Please stay safe and healthy - all of you.

To those participating in the relief efforts, we salute your noble work. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you, as well, for a safe and successful mission. Thank you for your service to those in need.

Good news!

Working with the hotel, Warpstock has been able to negotiate an extension of the room block cutoff until August 20. This adds a few more days to our guaranteed conference room rates of King or Two Double: $119 CAD/night; Suite: $134 CAD/night (remember, these rates are stated in Canadian Dollars; today's exchange rates have these figures at close to $90 USD and $100 USD, per night, respectively).

After the cutoff date, rooms will be available at the normal daily rate, as available.

Why wait? Register for Warpstock 2018 today, and use this direct booking link or by telephone: 800-830-5222 or 403-250-1800 to book your room. When calling or using the hotel's main website, use the booking code "0913WARPST" to get the conference rate (the direct link should apply this automatically).

Each year, we try to bring to the event presentations which will inform, enlighten, and engage with the interests of users and developers. 2018 is no exception to this tradition.

This year, we have sessions on a wide range of topics, from effectively using Github to preserve code to latest happenings at Arca Noae and bww bitwise works, to tips and tricks to make your work go more smoothly.

This year's schedule allows plenty of time for small, informal, breakout sessions, too, so be sure to bring your questions - and your knowledge - to Calgary, September 14-16.
