Very nice. Looking forward to this. One question though: How much material is being made available afterwards? Keynote and technical session recordings and slides? How about the hands-on lab thingymajig? Is that private or will those q a’s be recorded and released as well?
Just wondering how many pencils I should bring 
Much like last year we plan on recording the presentation sessions and posting them, and the presentation materials, to our website following the conference. We’re also looking at providing attendees with CDs on arrival that contain the presentation materials ahead of time so you can look at/read those while in the sessions.
Those are handled one-on-one with many going on simultaneously and as such they will not be recorded nor shared (by us) in any way. If attendees feel like it would be helpful to post their questions and the answers we provide then that’s up to them to handle.
I’ll most likely be there too.
AWESOME!
I’m sooo there. Registered last week.
Any suggestions on good (and affordable) hotels close by?

P.S.
Wireframes on Terrains with Unity 2.1!
Yee Haaww!!
As mentioned above we’ll be posting some travel suggestions soon enough. To get you started:
Low-Cost: DanHostel in Copenhagen
It’s a hostel but quite a nice one, and it’s a reasonably short walk, or a very easy bike ride away from the conference location.
Low-to-Mid-Cost: Norlandia Star
A nice hotel right behind the central train station that’s a 5-10 minute walk from the conference location.
Mid-to-High-Cost (look for online deals!): The Square Hotel
A bit more expensive but really nice, look for online deals. I managed to book into here once through hotels.com for around $125 per night (way under normal price!). This is a touch closer to the conference venue than the Norlandia, call it a 5 minute walk.
Again though, we’ll share more info on the website quite soon.
I just booked my hotel via hotels.com for the trip and will arrive at the 21st already. I took the Savoy Hotel which is only a few hundred meters away (> 250m) from the Unite conference (see google maps link). Hotel is marked, a bit above at the water the round thing is the Tycho Brahe Planetarium. Single room is 89 Euro per night incl. breakfast.
Will be big fun to meet you all in person then!

Savoy Hotel for me too The closest one I could find as well, and really cheap + breakfast. It’s a safe bet.
Edit: At what time does the first day start? Need to know because of plane tickets.
Couldn’t make it to San Francisco, no way I can make it to Copenhagen, much as I would love to. Oh well, maybe in 2010.
I’m planning to attend as well.
You gotta figure, this is going to be the iPhone Unite. And who wants to miss that?
Well,
I am a newcomer to world of Unity but I can tell you I am so excited to be coming to Unite 2008.
Studio Liddell is a medium sized 3D design and animation company based in Manchester, UK. We are currently looking at the Unity Pro license to develop our interactives and games with.
Looking forward to meeting everyone,
IPete2.

Will there be name-tags given out at the entrance? Everyone should have a huge sticker with their nickname - otherwise it’ll take forever to find the people you’ve talked to at the forum and in the irc channel.
Yes.
Ahh, just booked my Unite ticket. Yay.
Question: Do we have wifi access there during the conf?
Very nice, we’ll booking soon.
Just some info, if you know:
At what time does the conference start on the 21st?
At what time will the conference finish on the 24th?
Is there someone else from Italy?
Thanks
The plan is to once again offer wireless access yes.
I’ll be posting the agenda quite soon, but in general you should plan on being at the event space from roughly 9am to 3:30pm each day for the presentations and sessions. The hands-on lab sessions each day will go until 6pm on Wednesday and Thursday, and until 5pm on Friday. But again, stay tuned for a full and final schedule, including session topics/titles/speakers.
We haven’t yet seen any ticket sales to folks in Italy, although we do have one guy coming all the way from Hong Kong it seems!
This might be a rather weird question but will ask it anyways.
Say i dont have a macbook pro 
will it be possible to safely setup an iMac for the duration of the conference for the sake of hands-on part, or will i have to turn my iMac into a laptop?
Regards,
Marc
IIRC someone had their own iMac set up last year. Of course we will also have a handful of “public” computers set up for people to use so you could bring your projects in on a portable drive.
Ethan
While we intend for the location to be secure as we are leaving equipment there each night we will not take responsibility for attendee equipment left overnight or unattended during the day. As Ethan mentioned, we’ll have computers available for use during the hands-on lab sessions, so bring any files you have on external media (flash drive, CD/DVD, etc.) if necessary.
Man I really can’t await to meet you all in person. Will be fantastic.
Ok cool, thanks!
