Rust Nation – A UK Conference for Rustaceans
- jstx1 4y agoIt seems interesting but £510 is a lot for 2 days of currently unknown content.
- richardwhiuk 4y agoAlso absolutely no mention of who is involved in setting this up.
- felixmcfelix 4y agoDigging around in OP's submissions, it looks to be Vitis Events [0]. [0]: https://www.vitisevents.com/ https://www.vitisevents.com/
- callahad 4y agoTheir COVID-19 policy page mentions that this is being run by Vitis Events, https://www.vitisevents.com/ https://www.vitisevents.com/. They're running three events at The Brewery that week: PHP UK, Rust Nation UK, and GopherCon UK.
- stingraycharles 4y agoAre those good conferences?
- callahad 4y agoI have no idea, but it looks like they've been in the event space for a while so I would expect the logistics side, at a minimum, to work well. Running several events concurrently also lets them benefit from shared infrastructure and expertise instead of being a purely one-off thing. I'd probably consider it once the speakers are announced.

I don't know, but the PHP UK conference videos for 2016 to 2022 are on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/phpukconference/playlists https://www.youtube.com/c/phpukconference/playlists Gopher UK conference videos (2015 to 2022): https://www.youtube.com/c/GopherConUK/playlists https://www.youtube.com/c/GopherConUK/playlists
- mellosouls 4y agoIt's sounds pretty standard in it's exorbitance to me. The tickets that aren't gifted tend to be paid by corporations using up their training budgets, and well-heeled consultant networkers rather than individual coders I suspect.
- jstx1 4y agoSounds about right. I don't really have a training budget and if I did it would still be hard to justify since I don't need to use Rust at work.
- shriek 4y agoYeah it sucks that people who are using Rust as hobby can't participate in these conferences w/o coughing up big chunk of cash. But hopefully there are recorded streams available for these later.
- TakeBlaster16 4y agoIf you're in the US, £510 might turn out to be pretty cheap by time 2023 rolls around.
- przemub 4y agoDon't hurt me like that :(
- kreco 4y agoNot sure what is there intention. Usually it costs a lot because organizers expect companies to pay their staff to go there and "learn" stuff. Milking people using rust professionally does not sound profitable. It's also hard to justify to pay and go somewhere instead of just doing some livestream.
- kreco 4y ago> unknown content Can't you see it will be the best event ever for the same reason that this post is on the front page of HN? It's about Rust.
