About Clojure/west

Clojure/west is the biggest Clojure conference in the western United States.
Founded in 2012, the conference is a great place to meet Clojure developers and
learn about what is happening in the language, in the community, and in companies
using Clojure.

This year's event will be held for the first time in Seattle, Washington.
Last year's event in Portland was the biggest yet with 450 attendees and we
expect to be as big or bigger this year.

Registration

Regular registration ($400) is available until March 25th.
Late registration ($460) begins March 26th.
Pre-conference training is available for Clojure (2 days, $300) and Datomic (1 day, $200).
