Ryan Sullivan Addresses Concerns With LoopConf

Matt Cromwell of WordImpress conducted an interview with Ryan Sullivan, one of the organizers of LoopConf, a conference dedicated to advanced WordPress development topics. In the interview, Sullivan answers questions regarding value, pricing, and the inspiration behind the event.

Earlier this month, controversy surrounding ticket prices surfaced on Twitter and elsewhere. However, LoopConf sold out of $600 early bird tickets in less than 24 hours. Full price tickets go on sale December 17th at a cost of $800.

Cromwell raises some interesting concerns in his post such as whether or not the event will benefit the WordPress community. Sullivan responds to those concerns in the comments.

I think LoopConf is going to be a success but I’m curious to see how fast regular price tickets sell out. If it’s a repeat of early bird ticket sales, what little controversy exists will be erased. It will also be a clear indication of the demand for these types of events.
