Lief Larson, CEO of Workface, will be holding a single-day event called SaaS Camp 2012. This inaugural (but hopefully annual) event is focused on education and networking within the developing SaaS community here in Minnesota.
Why this ‘camp’ and why now? Over the last few years, Lief has said he’s had the incredible opportunity to travel to, attend, and speak at numerous SaaS-specific events. Most of what he has learned has been locked away in his head as tacit knowledge. Since “the cloud” and software as services online has become so hot, Lief has been asked by several companies to share some of this information. Like all of us, Lief’s weekday priorities to Workface means that a weekend event would probably be the best forum for the SaaS community.
SaaS Camp 2012 is being tightly packed into a single session-intense Saturday and has been created for SaaS practitioners and businesses embarking on SaaS models. It will be held at CoCo MSP in the Minneapolis Grain Exchange on Saturday, April 21st, from 9am-4pm.
Thirteen major areas of SaaS will be covered, ranging from pricing models to channel development. The price is $199, which is being used to cover the facilities costs, catering/lunch, and materials. It will be limited attendance because Lief is hoping to keep it manageable and more intimate. Registration info available at: http://saasclass.com/events or http://saascamp2012.
