…attend TechDays 2010 in the city where you are registered. This means that if you attend TechDays 2010 in Vancouver, you will get your subscription 3-4 weeks after the Vancouver event; if you attend Toronto, it will be 3-4 weeks after the Toronto event, and so on.

Today, Tuesday August 3rd, is your last chance to register for TechDays Vancouver at the early bird price of CAD$349.99 (plus taxes).
