This year there will also be a <a href="http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1z0ts16oqr5mf3sj9e199bqctcqbk2ap27l459mf0" target="_blank">Make Hardware Innovation Workshop</a> right before <a href="http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zlp01tq41lrqbp5o4lkrrj7crc4utitntvise5r8" target="_blank">Maker Faire Bay Area</a>, so plan ahead if you'll be making a week out of it. That also goes for the recently added <a href="http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zjm275mlinvoavurihu866068gtrts6v840d8oio" target="_blank">WebPerfDays</a> held in conjunction with <a href="http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1z3klpl9kcn4vto84cdch3addgo9q81plm74hucco" target="_blank">DevOpsDays</a>, directly after the <a href="http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zrthsmv6oh3060682aqkjajcjdra250nrrkg15tg" target="_blank">Velocity Conference</a> in June. And remember to get those review book requests in so we have plenty of time to process your request. </p>
