Nokia Shuttles from Jacksonville International Airport to Amelia Island

Unless arriving by private jet, Amelia Island is quite remote and that is a very good thing for our purposes. Unfortunately it does make getting here a little complex, but to make it a little easier Nokia will be providing shuttles from the airport on a schedule interval. Details will be out shortly as well as the times the shuttle will run after we have a rough manifest of when everyone is arriving.

CSSConf 9:00AM - 6:00PM

CSSConf is among the first of its kind: a conference dedicated to CSS and the developers and engineers who build the world’s most engaging user interfaces. Rather than focusing on design, this conference focuses on the latest technologies, cutting edge techniques, and tools. Perhaps more importantly, CSSConf will build the kind of community in CSS that JSConf has built around JavaScript, and connect the two communities in a way that has been missing until now.

Microsoft/IE Reach the Beach Welcome Reception TENTATIVELY 6:00PM - 9:00PM

After a long day of travel, come down to the beach for an evening welcome reception and social gathering. Meet old friends, make new friends, and enjoy the sand between your toes! We will have various things going on during this event including light appetizers, refreshments, and possibly a little bit of live music. Help us kick off the JSConf 5th year reunion in true beach style.
